About Brett
Brett Garcia is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with 20 years of experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, parenting and anger. Sessions are conducted in English and he works with clients from the UK and internationally.
Brett draws on integrative and psychodynamic ideas to look at what drives emotional reactions. He pays attention to patterns in relationships and earlier experiences that shape how people respond now. That can help with anger that feels automatic or that keeps appearing in the same situations.
His work is collaborative and reflective. Conversations cover present-day problems while also gently exploring past influences. He aims to help people notice triggers, thought patterns and relational habits that feed frustration and resentment.
Brett describes his practice as trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming. He has experience supporting people with ADHD and Autism, and adapts approaches to different communication styles and needs. He also draws on humanistic and existential ideas to help with identity, meaning and life transitions.
He has a long background in clinical leadership within the UK National Health Service, and experience working with professionals in high-pressure roles. That experience informs his practical focus on coping with work stress, burnout and maintaining relationships while managing responsibilities.
How sessions work
Approaches that shape online sessions
The practice combines attachment-based thinking and cognitive behavioural ideas to work with anger and related difficulties. Attachment-based work looks at relationship patterns and how early connections influence reactions now; it helps when anger is linked to feeling rejected, abandoned or misunderstood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and behaviours that escalate anger, and on practising alternatives that reduce reactivity.Brett treats the choice of approach as a collaborative process. He discusses goals, preferences and practical needs with each person and adjusts methods as work progresses. Clients take part in deciding whether to focus more on understanding relational patterns or on learning practical skills for managing immediate reactions.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into daily life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or making it simpler to schedule sessions around work. Registered or accredited professionals can use those benefits to help people maintain steady contact while they practise changes between sessions.
