I am an Integrative and Psychodynamic Psychotherapist, registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), with over 20 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, families, and professionals.
I work internationally with clients from diverse backgrounds, offering a compassionate, thoughtful, and non-judgemental space to explore emotional challenges, relationships, identity, and life transitions.
How I Work:
My approach is collaborative, reflective, and grounded in understanding the deeper causes of distress, not only the symptoms. Together, we explore patterns, experiences, and relationships that shape how you feel, think, and respond to the world.
I draw on integrative, psychodynamic, psychoanalytic, and humanistic models. This means we may work with present-day difficulties while also exploring earlier experiences and unconscious processes that influence emotions, behaviour, and self-understanding.
My work is trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming, and inclusive.
I conduct all therapy session in English.
Areas of Experience and Focus:
I have extensive experience supporting clients with:
Anxiety, stress, low mood, and emotional overwhelm
Relationship difficulties, attachment patterns, and communication challenges
Trauma, complex life experiences, and chronic stress
Neurodiversity, including ADHD and Autism (diagnosed or suspected)
Identity exploration, self-esteem, and personal development
Work-related stress, burnout, and high-pressure roles:
For over a decade, I worked in senior clinical leadership roles within the UK National Health Service (NHS), including Senior Clinical Specialist and Clinical Lead positions. I am clinically trained in the diagnosis of Autism in both children and adults and have worked across Social Care, Education, Health, and private practice.
I also have significant experience supporting professionals working in high-pressure environments, including healthcare, military, police, and frontline services.
Neurodiversity-Affirming and Trauma-Informed Practice:
I work respectfully and affirmatively with neurodiverse clients, recognising both strengths and challenges. Whether you are exploring a possible diagnosis or already identify as neurodivergent, therapy is tailored to your needs, communication style, and lived experience.
My trauma-informed approach prioritises safety, choice, and pacing, ensuring therapy feels supportive, collaborative, and manageable.
Work, Leadership, and Life Transitions:
Alongside therapy, I have extensive experience in executive coaching, leadership development, and organisational psychology. I work with founders, entrepreneurs, and professionals navigating responsibility, decision-making, conflict, and organisational change.
This background allows me to support clients balancing emotional wellbeing with leadership, performance, and complex working environments.
Research, Leadership, and Community Work:
I have previously served as Chair of a mental health NGO, contributing to strategic leadership, service development, and mental health advocacy. I also collaborate with universities and international networks on training and research initiatives.
In addition, I currently support a charity by mentoring entrepreneurs and individuals in the early stages of starting and developing their own businesses, helping them build confidence, clarity, and sustainable direction.
Working Together:
At BetterHelp, I support individuals, couples seeking greater self-understanding, emotional resilience, and meaningful change.
Clients often describe our work as grounding, thoughtful, and practical. If you are looking for a therapeutic space that offers depth, clarity, and compassionate challenge, I would be glad to work with you.
I warmly welcome international clients and individuals from all backgrounds, including those from marginalised or high-pressure communities.

He is fantastic
Written on Mar 13, 2026 after therapy with Brett for 1 year and 1 month on issues concerning addictions
I've had three sessions with Brett Garcia in the past three weeks. I find him to be so surprising in how he responds to things I've said, in a very good way. He gets me looking at things from very different points of view. He doesn't always answer me the way I would like him to - and it's teaching me a lot about myself even just in that way! He is refreshing. He challenges me, and I think he really sees me.

We really appreciate Brett. I think the latest lesson from him has been that there are people that can be trusted and who make a real effort to understand us. That alone is a game changer ...

Brett has, by far and away, been the most effective and confidence inspiring therapist I've worked with. His manner of interacting is natural and questioning, he offers opinions and has a knack for getting to the core of what I'm trying to express.
No other therapist has given me a sense of confidence that by working with them I will be able to uncover what's bothering me and help me gain understanding and progress through these issues.
I feel very grateful to be able to work with Brett.

My first therapy experience and I consider myself to be very lucky to work with Brett. Sensitive, yet with a clear vision. 100% recommended
Written on Jan 03, 2023 after therapy with Brett for 5 months on issues concerning relationship issues
Very friendly and chatty. Have had good chats and he listens very well and gives lots of ideas back. I have felt much clarity and realise I am not crazy thanks to Brett. He Takes things very slowly. However for me personally I need more guidance and thorough help, and have learned I need get into my issues quicker rather than take a lot of my time discovering them. Would definitely recommend Brett, unless you prefer more thorough therapy work and to move along faster in your recovery rather than taking your time on it.
