About Brett Garcia
Brett Garcia is an integrative and psychodynamic psychotherapist registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) who brings over 20 years of clinical and leadership experience supporting individuals, couples, families, and professionals. Based in the United Kingdom and working internationally, he offers a compassionate, thoughtful, and non-judgemental space to explore emotional challenges, relationships, identity, and life transitions.
His approach is collaborative and reflective, focusing on understanding the deeper causes of distress rather than only addressing symptoms. He draws on integrative, psychodynamic, psychoanalytic, and humanistic models, working with present-day difficulties while also exploring earlier experiences and unconscious processes that shape emotions, behaviour, and self-understanding. His practice is trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming, with therapy conducted in English.
Brett has extensive experience supporting people with anxiety, stress, low mood, relationship difficulties, trauma and complex life experiences, attachment and communication challenges, neurodiversity including ADHD and Autism, identity exploration, self-esteem, and work-related stress and burnout. For more than a decade he held senior clinical leadership roles within the UK National Health Service, including senior clinical specialist and clinical lead positions, and he is clinically trained in the diagnosis of Autism in both children and adults. He has worked across social care, education, health, and private practice.
Alongside therapeutic work, Brett combines executive coaching, leadership development, and organisational psychology to support founders, entrepreneurs, and professionals navigating responsibility, decision-making, conflict, and change. He has served as chair of a mental health NGO, collaborates with universities and international networks on training and research, and mentors entrepreneurs and early-stage business founders. Clients often describe his work as grounding, thoughtful, and practical, and he welcomes international clients and people from all backgrounds, including those from marginalised or high-pressure communities.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships and attachment patterns shape current ways of relating and can help people address intimacy, trust, abandonment, and recurring relationship difficulties by identifying relational patterns and experimenting with new ways of connecting. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathic listening and creating a space in which the person’s own priorities guide the work, helping with self-esteem, identity exploration, and personal growth by building understanding and self-directed change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and offers practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching skills to reframe thinking and change coping patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Brett works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. These decisions are made together so that therapy feels relevant and manageable, with adjustments over time as circumstances change.
Online therapy with Brett is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which adds flexibility for people balancing work, family, or geographic distance. Remote sessions make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit therapy into busy schedules, and access registered professionals from different locations while preserving a consistent therapeutic relationship.
