Brett Garcia

Brett Garcia is 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.

He works internationally with people from diverse backgrounds and offers a compassionate, thoughtful, and non-judgemental space to explore emotional challenges, relationships, identity, and life transitions. All therapy sessions are conducted in English.

His way of working is collaborative and reflective, focusing on understanding deeper causes of distress rather than only addressing symptoms. Brett draws on integrative, psychodynamic, psychoanalytic, and humanistic approaches, combining attention to present-day difficulties with exploration of earlier experiences and unconscious processes that shape emotions, behaviour, and self-understanding.

Brett practises with a trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming, and inclusive stance. He has extensive experience supporting people with anxiety, stress, low mood and emotional overwhelm; relationship and family difficulties; trauma and abuse; addictions; grief and intimacy-related issues; eating and sleeping problems; parenting and anger; self-esteem and identity work; career concerns and coping with life changes. He also provides coaching and support for compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges, and works with LGBT clients and issues.

For more than a decade he held senior clinical leadership roles within the UK National Health Service (NHS), including positions as Senior Clinical Specialist and Clinical Lead. He is clinically trained in the diagnosis of Autism in both children and adults and has worked across Social Care, Education, Health, and private practice. He also has significant experience supporting professionals in high-pressure environments, including healthcare, military, police, and frontline services.

Alongside therapeutic work, Brett has a background in executive coaching, leadership development, and organisational psychology. He works with founders, entrepreneurs, and professionals navigating responsibility, decision-making, conflict, and organisational change, helping clients balance wellbeing with leadership and performance demands.

He has served as Chair of a mental health NGO and collaborates with universities and international networks on training and research initiatives. Brett also supports a charity by mentoring entrepreneurs and people in the early stages of starting and developing businesses, focusing on building confidence, clarity, and sustainable direction.

At BetterHelp, he supports individuals and couples seeking greater self-understanding, emotional resilience, and meaningful change. Clients often describe the work as grounding, thoughtful, and practical. Brett warmly welcomes international clients and people from all backgrounds, including those from marginalised or high-pressure communities.
