Background and approach

His background includes senior clinical roles within the UK National Health Service where he worked across health, social care and education. That experience informs his work with people who face long-term stress, trauma, or complex life transitions. He also has experience with neurodiversity, including ADHD and autism, whether diagnosed or suspected.

Therapy with Brett is collaborative and practical. He adapts the pace to each person and focuses on clear goals alongside deeper reflection. He also draws on coaching and leadership work when people need support with career pressures or decision-making.

People who come to him bring issues such as grief, addictions, parenting strain, eating or sleeping problems, and challenges around intimacy or self-esteem. Brett takes a trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming stance and aims to make sessions thoughtful, direct and approachable.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current connections. Online sessions can explore attachment patterns and help people notice how they relate to others now. Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens without judgement and helps the person find their own answers to problems like anxiety or low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods to fit the person's goals, needs and communication style. That collaboration helps shape the plan and the pace of sessions so people feel understood and involved.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone sessions suit those with low bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera, and live chat or text works well for brief check-ins or when a written format feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel while still using the chosen therapeutic approaches.
