Global Support with a Holistic Lens

He works with clients to uncover the underlying causes of distress, explore patterns of behaviour, and create lasting strategies for emotional resilience. His integrative approach includes exploring the three levels of mind—conscious, subconscious, and unconscious—and how these interact with identity, behaviour, and societal norms.
His practice is trauma-informed and inclusive of neurodiverse clients, including those with suspected or diagnosed ADHD and Autism Spectrum Conditions.

We have never thought that BetterHelp could provide someone with the expertise and knowledge to deal with our complex needs.
But Brett has really been a godsend and is fantastic. He is empathetic, he usually understand us and on those rare occasions that he doesn't, he asks relevant questions. He is very knowledgeable of complex trauma and neurodivergence and always makes us feel heard. He is very respectful of our experiences and never makes us feel bad for being so messed up.
We have been traumatized in the past by therapists, and Brett has been helping us in moving forward and has been able to really get us started on our healing journey.
We couldn't ask for anyone better!

Brett has helped me in the last few sessions to determine the causes and reasons for my anxieties and worries . The last session he asked pertinent questions that were thought provoking and although it’s been tough at times I feel lighter and not so lost

Excellent therapist, vastly experienced. I have found Brett to be a huge help to me during an incredibly difficult time in my life. It’s refreshing to have someone that listens and understands without judgment.
