Gerrard Fauguel, BACP

Gerrard Fauguel is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people when life feels overwhelming. He draws on 23 years of experience and works in a straightforward, respectful way. Gerrard listens carefully and aims to create a calm space where people can talk through what matters most to them.

He often supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship difficulties. He also helps with addictions, parenting concerns, sleep problems and coping with change. Additional areas he addresses include attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, trauma and domestic violence, and challenges linked to autism and cancer.

Gerrard describes his style as warm, open and interactive. He combines Client-Centred Therapy with elements of Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy to fit each person’s needs. He avoids stigmatizing labels and focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions.

Over two decades of work have included supporting people after physical or emotional trauma and working alongside those facing career stress and compassion fatigue. His approach is to adapt methods to the person rather than use a fixed formula.

Sessions are conducted in English and he works from the United Kingdom. He accepts international clients. To begin, people usually complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the agreed times.

How Gerrard’s approaches translate to online counselling

Gerrard uses Client-Centred Therapy to create a listening, non-judgemental space where the person leads the conversation and the counsellor follows. This approach helps with anxiety, depression and relationship worries by focusing on understanding and acceptance.

He also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, which pays attention to how feelings show up in relationships and personal patterns. EFT techniques can be useful for people trying to shift entrenched interaction styles or work through attachment concerns.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Gerrard will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods to fit each person’s needs, making decisions collaboratively rather than imposing a single way of working.

The practical benefits of remote or online work can include easier scheduling around daily life and being able to join sessions without travel. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Sessions can then be organised to fit routine, whether that means a shorter check-in or arranging calls that suit work and family commitments.
