Gerrard Fauguel, BACP

Gerrard Fauguel uses a client-centred approach to help people facing stress, anxiety, addiction and relationship difficulties. He works in a calm, respectful way and aims to make conversations simple and focused. Gerrard is identified by his BACP credential, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and he brings 23 years of experience to his work.

He listens first, then helps people set small, practical steps to feel better. Sessions are conversational and collaborative. Gerrard draws on emotionally focused ideas when relationships and attachments are central concerns, and he uses solution-focused techniques to help people move forward quickly when that fits.

Gerrard has supported people with grief, trauma and abuse, sleeping problems, parenting pressure and career strain. He also offers help for addiction, bipolar issues, anger and low self-esteem. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, coping with cancer, and recovery after separation or domestic violence.

People often come for help with everyday coping and with big life changes. Gerrard blends time-tested counselling skills with motivational interviewing to help clients find their own reasons to change. Sessions aim to be practical and clear, not full of jargon.

He works with people in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. Sessions are offered in English and provided online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Starting involves a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling to suit the client.

Therapeutic approaches for online sessions

Gerrard often uses client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and can discover their own solutions. This approach helps when someone needs a warm, non-judgemental space to talk through stress, depression or relationship worries.

He also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, which looks at patterns in close relationships and aims to strengthen emotional bonds and understanding. EFT is useful when attachment, intimacy or recurring relationship conflicts are key concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gerrard will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then adapt methods together with each person. The choice of approach is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for this way of working. Video calls let therapy feel face to face while saving travel time. Phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera or have limited bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins or ongoing support possible between sessions. These options give flexibility for fitting therapy around work, caregiving and other commitments.
