Generally go someone who isn't a bruiser to counter a high health bruiser. Teemo because of his blind is particularly effective, as is Yorick because of his harass/sustain combination. Swain has incredible sustain post 6, and can harass from a nice range as well. Jayce is only good if you can switch between his forms effectively.

Cho and Teemo have ranged pokes, but Garen does pretty well against them and even counters Cho.
On the other hand, if it's someone like Elise or Nidalee doing the poking, then Garen is pretty much screwed.
Garen -
etc.
GP isn't hard countered either.
