Gerrard Fauguel, BACP

Gerrard Fauguel is a counsellor who works from a person-centred approach. He uses warm, open and interactive style to help people talk through stress, anxiety, grief and relationship strains. Gerrard holds BACP registration and draws on 23 years of experience to guide people through change.

He focuses on everyday problems that can feel overwhelming. That includes depression, addiction, sleep difficulties, parenting concerns, career pressure and coping with life changes. He also supports people who have experienced trauma, abuse or the long-term effects of illness and bereavement. Living with health challenges is included among the areas he helps with.

Gerrard’s sessions aim to be practical and direct. He listens first, then works with each person to set realistic goals. He uses client-centred principles alongside emotionally-focused and solution-based techniques to help people notice what matters and try small changes.

Motivational interviewing is part of his toolkit for people facing addictive behaviours or low motivation. Gerrard adapts pacing and focus to suit each person rather than following one fixed method. He avoids stigmatising labels and focuses on strengths and steps forward.

People can expect a respectful and non-judgemental atmosphere where feelings and practical problems get equal attention. Gerrard encourages clear, manageable steps and regular check-ins so progress is visible. If someone wants to start, he asks them to use the Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How these approaches work in online therapy

Gerrard uses a person-centred way of working that places the person's experience at the heart of sessions. This means the conversation begins with listening and building a collaborative relationship, then moves to address whatever feels most urgent or important. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name strong feelings and the patterns in close relationships that keep causing pain; it suits those wanting to improve connection or manage intense emotions.

Motivational Interviewing is practical and conversational, and it helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change. It focuses on ambivalence and practical next steps rather than pressure. Gerrard blends these approaches so each person can try techniques that match their needs and goals rather than following a single method.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. He will discuss aims, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, then suggest a way forward. Sessions are shaped together so goals are clear and progress can be reviewed regularly.

The biography does not specify which remote formats are offered, so please confirm available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or making it simpler to schedule during a lunch break. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt pacing, exercises and homework to suit online appointments and everyday routines.
