I’ve just finished the hanging wall shelf project by Paul and I’m not sure how to affix it to the (brick) wall in our kitchen.
Any ideas on what I should use?
Thinking about it, I’m not even sure how how Paul has managed to fix the shelf to the wall because there seems to be next to no room to get the screwdriver in there. Unless the back is “hung” onto the bracket I can’t see how it’s done.

My kitchen wall units hang on something similar.

Something like this:

He shows how to make and use them here:

You need to be a bit luckier as to where solid bearing in the wall is, but molly bolts often work for light duty and would be hidden.
A well stocked hardware store will have plates and mollys.
For your brick wall, drill holes and plug them with wood, then screw into the wood.
