About me
My name is Ernesto L. Brea. I'm a UK-qualified, BACP accredited and registered counsellor and psychotherapist, fully bilingual in English and Spanish. I trained at Roehampton University, hold a postgraduate diploma in Attachment Studies from Wimbledon Guild, and am a Certified Cyber Therapist with the Online Therapy Institute.
I have over 15 years of consulting room experience in Central London. My practice has now moved fully online, with clients ranging from busy professionals and digital nomads to those in the UK and abroad who want consistent, private therapy from wherever they happen to be.
Over the years I've worked with people from many different backgrounds — including the LGBTQI+ community and minority ethnic groups — both privately and within the NHS.
How I work
In the first few sessions I'd like to get to know you and understand what has become unmanageable. I'm interested in your current and past experiences, the people who matter to you, and the patterns you find yourself caught in. My aim is to offer a therapeutic relationship where you feel properly met — and to help you make sense of how you relate to yourself and to others.
Although my approach is humanistic and integrative, I have a particular interest in attachment studies. Understanding your own attachment style is often a turning point in how you experience yourself and your relationships.
Dedicated practice areas
Alongside my general practice, I run two dedicated landing pages for clients who prefer to read about my work in a context that's directly for them.
LGBTQI+ Affirmative
Affirmative online therapy for LGBTQI+ adults. Unhurried, attachment-informed, and grounded in being met without having to explain or justify your life. First session £40, then £75.

Online therapy
For many clients, online therapy is the difference between getting consistent support and not getting support at all. Sessions happen securely over Zoom or Doxy and feel surprisingly close to working in person.

Client voices
I'm so happy to have your support, Ernesto. It has been the best decision I've made — every Wednesday I feel stronger and encouraged.
— Client from London
Further to my previous therapy with you, I felt your expertise helped enormously one year ago. Thank you again for your thoughtfulness and care when I felt most vulnerable.
— Client from Manchester
I can't thank you enough, Ernesto, for your help and support in what has been, as you know, a momentous two years for me.
