Gerrard FauguelBACP

Gerrard Fauguel is a counsellor who draws on a person-centred approach to help people through difficult life moments. He works in a warm, open and interactive way and aims to create a respectful space where someone can talk through what matters to them. Gerrard is identified with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and brings 23 years of experience to his practice.

He commonly supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship struggles. He also helps with parenting worries, addiction, grief and coping with major life changes. Practical issues such as sleep problems, work stress and anger are also part of his day-to-day work.

Gerrard uses approaches drawn from client-centred work alongside emotionally-focused ideas and motivational interviewing. He also uses solution-focused techniques to help people set small, achievable goals and notice change. Sessions aim to be collaborative with the person’s own goals at the centre.

His background includes long experience with trauma, abuse and attachment-related difficulties, and he has worked with people affected by cancer, separation and domestic violence. He also supports people who identify with autism or Asperger syndrome and those facing substance misuse concerns.

Gerrard presents therapy in straightforward terms and avoids stigmatising labels. He encourages people to take gentle steps toward change, matching methods to the individual’s needs. To begin, he asks people to say what they want to work on and then plans practical next steps together.

How Gerrard’s approaches translate to online work

Gerrard uses client-centred work to place the person’s own concerns and goals at the heart of therapy. That approach focuses on listening, reflecting and helping someone feel understood so they can make their own choices about change.

He also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, which looks at patterns in close relationships and the emotions that drive them. EFT can help people understand difficult feelings and improve how they connect with others. Motivational interviewing is used to help people find their own reasons for change and build small steps towards better habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gerrard will discuss different methods with each person and decide collaboratively which fits best with their aims and preferences. The plan can be adjusted as progress is made.

The practical benefits of online therapy make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, such as avoiding travel and saving time between commitments. Please confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available for scheduling. Registered or accredited professionals often use online work to maintain continuity of care when meeting face-to-face is difficult, and the aim is to make therapy fit around the person’s routine rather than the other way round.
