More about Brett

  • BACP

Brett Garcia is a highly qualified Integrative and Psychodynamic Psychotherapist, registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). With over 20 years of experience, he works globally with clients across diverse backgrounds, cultures, and time zones. His clinical work spans Social Care, Education, Health, and private sectors, offering therapeutic support and assessments to children, families, adults, and professionals.

Specialist in Complex and High-Stakes Cases

Brett has spent the past decade in senior leadership roles within the UK National Health Service (NHS), including as a Senior Clinical Specialist and Clinical Lead. He is highly experienced in Autism, ADHD, Learning Disabilities, and Physical Disabilities, and is clinically trained in the diagnosis of Autism in both children and adults.

He has worked extensively with the military, police, and frontline professionals, supporting individuals working under extreme pressure, trauma, and emotional strain.

Global Support with a Holistic Lens

Brett offers a compassionate, non-judgemental, and analytical approach to therapy. 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.

Contributing to Change Beyond the Therapy Room

Brett is an active thought leader in the field of mental health. He publishes articles, engages in research, and regularly speaks to audiences about the societal and organisational impact of psychological health. His work focuses on reducing stigma and increasing access to high-quality care.

Organisational Psychology and Executive Coaching

In addition to therapy, Brett specialises in executive coaching, leadership training, and neurodiversity in the workplace. He works with business founders, corporate teams, and entrepreneurs to foster emotionally intelligent leadership and inclusive company cultures.

As a business coach and mentor, Brett integrates psychological insight with business acumen—providing results-driven support to individuals and teams navigating change, conflict, and decision-making.

Strategic and Insightful Problem-Solving

Drawing from humanistic-integrative, psychodynamic, and psychoanalytic models, Brett combines emotional insight with structured, outcome-focused strategies. He helps clients whether individuals or organisations and navigate complexity with clarity and confidence.

Committed to Community and Professional Growth

Brett serves as Chair of a mental health charity, where he leads strategic initiatives, supports professional development, and promotes mental health policy reform. He also collaborates with universities and global networks on research and training.

About online counseling

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Brett is amazing and a wonderful listener and very understanding of all issues

Great

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, 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.

Brett has been amazing. These sessions have brought me a long way from where I was previously. It’s not just the comforting words, it was a journey to understand and find myself. This was one of my first therapy sessions and although I was skeptical of any change through therapy when starting I can now say differently. I highly recommend.

Reviewed January 2023

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.
