Pedro Garcia (my pronouns are He/Him/His)

Hola and welcome! 

My name is Pedro, and I am here to support your journey toward emotional well-being and personal growth. Whether you're seeking emotional relief or a deeper understanding of yourself, together we can explore new paths for healing and resilience. 

My practice offers a welcoming and safe space for everyone, regardless of background. As an advocate for diversity, I value your unique views, beliefs, and experiences, ensuring our sessions are respectful, inclusive, and empowering. I am a qualified counsellor, accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), and I adhere strictly to its ethical standards to create a professional and secure therapeutic environment. 

I take a trauma-sensitive approach, ensuring that past hurts are handled carefully, helping us explore their impact on your current life while supporting your journey towards growth. I employ an anti-oppressive framework, ensuring that therapy is not only safe but also empowering. This approach acknowledges the impact of societal structures and cultural influences on personal experiences in ways that promote your well-being. 

Working Together At the heart of my practice is a relational approach, built on respect, empathy, and understanding. These principles help establish trust, creating a space where you can explore your feelings and thoughts without fear of judgment. Each session is designed to meet you where you are in your journey, addressing patterns in your beliefs and behaviours to unlock new opportunities for personal development. By understanding these influences, we can transform challenges into insights, empowering you to navigate life with resilience and clarity. My Background and Experience I have dedicated my career to supporting diverse communities, working closely with charities to help families affected by child sexual abuse, as well as providing tailored support to migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers. 

My experience includes helping individuals navigate complex life circumstances and build resilience during challenging transitions. I am actively involved in initiatives promoting diversity, enhancing mental health support for the LGBTQAI+ community, and improving workplace well-being in London. With a multicultural and creative approach informed by my background in Fine Arts, I incorporate fresh perspectives into therapy, connecting individual journeys with broader narratives of strength. 

I specialise in helping clients manage a range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, relational challenges, social stigma, abuse, low self-esteem, panic attacks, intercultural difficulties, and LGBTQAI+/GSRD issues. I also offer multilingual counselling in English and Spanish. Getting Started Embarking on therapy is a meaningful step. To make the process easier, I offer a free, no-obligation 20-minute introductory chat via phone or Zoom. This is an opportunity for us to connect, discuss your expectations, and explore whether I am the right fit for your needs.

Each subsequent session lasts 50 minutes, with options for weekly or fortnightly appointments. • Online/phone sessions: £65 • Face-to-face sessions: £80 • Email counselling: £90 for a set of three emails • Concessionary rates are available for those in need.
