Pedro Garcia
About me and my therapy practice
- Hola and welcome! I’m Pedro (he/him)
I’m a qualified counsellor trained in the Person-Centred Approach, a way of working that values empathy, trust, and acceptance. Originally from Barcelona, I now work in London, offering both in-person and online sessions in English and Spanish.
Many of the people I support are:
- LGBTQIA+ people looking for a space where they don’t have to explain themselves
- Men who feel pressure to stay strong or keep their emotions in
- Those who experience the world differently, including ADHD, sensory overwhelm, or other forms of neurodivergence
- People carrying trauma that keeps replaying in the body and mind
- Individuals navigating shame, cultural disconnection or identity struggles
- People working or studying in the creative and fine arts industries, navigating self-doubt, burnout, or emotional blocks
- Athletes and active individuals seeking to improve emotional well-being and enhance sports performance through focus, self-awareness, and mindset
During our sessions, we create a space to breathe, to show up just as you are, without needing to perform or hold it all together. We work gently and at your pace, making sense of your experiences and building self-trust along the way.
If you’ve ever been told to stay quiet, stay strong, or fit in ( even when it hurt), this is a place to unlearn that. A space to feel seen, supported, and understood.
- Embracing opennes: My approach to therapy
I believe therapy isn’t about fixing you, it’s about making room for the parts of yourself that haven’t always felt safe to be seen. We’ll explore the thoughts, feelings, and patterns that shape your life, building self-understanding and trust along the way.
There’s no agenda to fix you, because you’re not broken. Instead, we work together to understand what’s been heavy, confusing, or painful, and explore it with care, clarity, and kindness.
My approach is:
- Gentle: We go at your pace, not mine
- Relational: Therapy is most powerful when it feels like a real, human connection. The relationship we build in the therapy room can become a model for the kind of care, respect, and acceptance you may be longing for outside of it.
- Body-aware: because our emotions often live in the body before we can name them. If you often feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, numbness, or overwhelm, this way of working can help you reconnect with yourself in a more grounded way.
Our sessions are a place to:
- Make sense of confusing thoughts or emotions
- Explore identity, belonging, and self-worth
- Unpack past experiences without being retraumatized.
- Feel safe to speak openly, maybe for the first time
- Build emotional resilience and self-trust
If you’re looking for a therapist who celebrates diversity and works with compassion, creativity, and depth, I’d love to hear from you.
Training, qualification and experience
- What I Bring to Our Work Together
I’m a BACP-registered counsellor trained in the Person-Centred Approach. Being registered means I meet recognised professional standards, but more importantly, I work in a way that’s grounded, human, and accessible.
Alongside my private practice, I also support NHS clients and work with charities supporting survivors of domestic and sexual violence, as well as migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers.
I’m part of the Creative Counsellors network, a community that integrates creativity into therapy, offering fresh and accessible ways to connect with emotion and insight.
I’ve completed additional training to support:
- LGBTQIA+ clients navigating identity, stigma, or belonging
- Men’s mental health, especially around silence, shame, and emotional expression
- Neurodivergent clients, including those with ADHD or sensory sensitivities
- Survivors of complex trauma and abuse
- People working through deep feelings of shame
- Those facing cultural or systemic barriers to mental wellbeing
My background in Fine Arts brings a multicultural and creative lens to the therapy room, helping clients connect their personal stories with strength, meaning, and possibility.
- Therapy changed my life: that’s why I am here.
Therapy helped me see there was nothing wrong with me, just parts of me that needed compassion. What first brought me to therapy was the need to feel understood, not judged, not “fixed,” but truly seen. My thoughts, feelings, and behaviours all made sense once I had space to look at them with kindness and curiosity, rather than shame.
Therapy gave me the chance to understand where my struggles came from. I could finally see how my beliefs were shaping how I responded to life and that I didn’t have to stay stuck in old patterns. Most importantly, I realised that change doesn’t come from trying to be someone else or running away from my feelings: it starts when we accept who we are, with compassion.
