About Brett
Brett Garcia is a BACP counsellor with 20 years of clinical experience. He offers a calm, reflective space where people can talk about sleep difficulties, stress, relationships and life changes. Brett works in English and with clients internationally.
Brett uses an integrative style that draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural techniques. He helps people notice patterns in relationships and in their day-to-day responses to anxiety, trauma and overwhelm. Sessions aim to make problems easier to understand and to find manageable steps forward.
He often links current struggles to earlier experiences and recurring relationship dynamics. This can help when sleep problems, low mood or anxiety feel stuck and hard to shift. Brett also supports people facing grief, addiction, identity questions and career pressures.
With two decades of practice, Brett has worked across health, education and social care. For over ten years he held senior clinical roles in the UK National Health Service, including leadership and diagnostic work related to autism. That background informs his work with neurodiverse clients and people in high-pressure roles.
His approach is trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming. Therapy is paced to the person’s needs and communication style. Brett also offers coaching for leadership, transitions and early-stage business building, helping people balance performance with wellbeing.
Approaches that shape online conversations
Brett draws on attachment-based approaches to look at how early relationship patterns affect current feelings and sleep. This work can help when worries or unsettled relationships make rest difficult.He also uses client-centred methods that focus on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. That style helps people pause, notice habits and decide on small changes that can improve routines and calm.
Finally, cognitive behavioural techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and to try practical experiments. These tools are often useful for sleep problems, anxiety and day-to-day coping strategies.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose methods that match their goals, needs and communication style. This means sessions can change over time as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer talking without being on camera or who need flexible scheduling around work or caregiving.
