About Gerrard

Gerrard Fauguel works with people on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief and mood difficulties, and issues around intimacy and parenting. He works in a person-centred way and uses approaches including Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 23 years' experience.

Gerrard uses a straightforward, conversational style in sessions. He listens to what matters to each person, and adapts conversations to practical steps they can try between meetings. Sessions focus on understanding feelings, clarifying goals and testing small changes that can ease day-to-day problems.

His background includes long experience supporting people with trauma and abuse, addiction, neurodivergence such as autism and Asperger syndrome, and the stresses that come with career or family responsibilities. He also works with people coping with loss, serious illness and separation.

Gerrard draws on client-centred principles to keep the focus on the person's experience, and on emotionally-focused and solution-focused methods to address relationship and practical problems. Motivational Interviewing is used where change feels difficult or stalled.

Sessions are conversational and aim to build clearer thinking and practical coping strategies. Gerrard accepts international clients and works from the United Kingdom as a BACP-registered counsellor. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How his counselling approaches are used in online sessions

Gerrard uses person-centred work to keep the focus on the client's experience and priorities. This approach means the counsellor listens actively and follows what the person finds most important, which can help when sorting out stress, depression or grief.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is used to clarify and name emotional patterns that affect relationships and intimacy. EFT helps people recognise feelings and practice new ways of responding in close relationships. Motivational Interviewing supports change when someone feels stuck; it uses guided conversation to explore ambivalence and build commitment to practical steps.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. He will discuss options with the client and decide together which methods to try, based on the client's goals and what feels most helpful.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, for example by reducing travel and allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break. They can also let someone continue with counselling when they are living abroad or unable to attend in person. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework to suit remote sessions.
