Gerrard Fauguel, BACP

Gerrard Fauguel is a counsellor practising with a Person-Centred approach. He works to create a direct and warm space where people can talk about stress, depression, anxiety, relationship issues and the practical strains of parenting or work. Gerrard is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and brings 23 years of experience in helping people through life changes.

He uses an open, interactive style and focuses on treating people with respect and care. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs rather than a fixed formula. That means listening, reflecting back what matters, and helping clients find clearer steps forward.

Gerrard draws on Emotionally-Focused ideas and Solution-Focused work to help with relationship problems, intimacy issues and coping after loss. He also uses Motivational Interviewing techniques when addressing addictions and change-related goals.

Across his practice he supports people dealing with trauma, abuse, bereavement, anger and low self-esteem. He has additional focus areas including attachment concerns, codependency, and challenges linked to autism and Asperger syndrome.

Clients can expect straightforward conversation about goals and small practical steps between sessions. Gerrard aims to help people better manage sleeping, work stress, and emotional overwhelm. He encourages a gradual process of change rather than quick fixes.

How his approaches can work online

Gerrard combines Person-Centred practice with Emotionally-Focused and Solution-Focused ideas to guide online work. Person-Centred Therapy centres on being heard and understood, creating space to talk through feelings and choices. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and shift emotional patterns that affect relationships and intimacy. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for practical steps and small changes that can make daily life easier, especially for stress and coping with life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Gerrard will discuss what feels most useful in early sessions and adapt the methods to match goals and preferences. He aims to make decisions jointly so the plan fits the person's needs and pace.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the exact session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family or travel, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help maintain continuity of care when circumstances change, while the therapist and client decide together how best to structure sessions.
