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 has always been highly supportive and a great therapist, I can only recommend him!
Brett has always given me support and been very encouraging
Brett has been the first therapist to help me go through tough times and deal with my depression. I had started to lose hope but not I am looking forward to our sessions every week and feel so happy afterwards. He knows exactly what to say to me and what questions will trigger me to think. I am grateful to have a therapist like you Brett!
Brett has been very supportive in various ways all throughout my sessions. Brett has helped tremendously in providing professional advice on my career path as well as providing mental health support.
A great Therapist, understanding and helpful, a deep thinker and someone who actively listens. Great potential solutions offered as well.
He is really great with understanding and listening to your needs. I would highly recommend him to anyone struggling with neurodivergence.
Great therapist. Very supportive and really listens and thinks about a clients individual needs.
Brett has helped me gain insight into parts of my history and neuro divergent mind that I could never have found just through ‘self-help’ or reading books. He understood my cultural nuances and was deeply empathetic, astute any practical.
Good at what he does. Observational and a good listener
Brett is a kind and gracious therapist. He is very quick with his response time and he is very present and professional. I cannot recommend him enough!
Brett is a very kind, attentive, and has many years experience in dealing with patients clinically. So far he has been the most supportive and easiest therapist to talk to!
Brett is very calm and good listener and a guide in analysing and suggesting ways to get through obstacles .
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.
Brett is a great therapist. He really loves his job, he’s empathetic, a good listener and gives you the opportunity to create a link with him in the best proper way for the process of healing. He’s very professional and prepared.
An excellent therapist
Brett is just fantastic. He has such a wide spectrum of knowledge and has assisted me way beyond what I had initially imagined. Deeply empathetic, caring and he reaches me just at the right level.
Brett listens to my concerns and is empathetic to my needs. I feel comfortable talking to him and be gives me strategic advice on what to do.
Excellent therapist. Compassionate listener and kindly offers needed professional advice.
Brett is so helpful and shows me such kindness. He has been so helpful to me and has changed my outlook to help myself each day. I can’t thank him enough.
My first therapy experience and I consider myself to be very lucky to work with Brett. Sensitive, yet with a clear vision. 100% recommended
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.
It was an amazing journey with Brett Garcia.
