About Gerrard
Counsellor Gerrard Fauguel is a BACP-registered practitioner working in the United Kingdom with 23 years of experience. He helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addiction and grief. He also supports those dealing with trauma, family problems, parenting challenges and intimacy-related issues.
Gerrard uses a client-focused way of working that pays attention to feelings and personal experience. Sessions are conversational and aim to help people make sense of their reactions and decide on practical next steps. He draws on approaches that emphasise emotions, personal perspective and short-term problem solving.
His background includes long-term work with people affected by substance use, domestic violence, separation and attachment difficulties. He has also worked with clients who live with bipolar conditions, dissociation, and those coping with cancer or other major life events. This experience informs how he recognises repeating patterns and supports change.
Gerrard describes his practice as open and interactive. He avoids stigmatising labels and focuses on respect and sensitivity in sessions. He offers motivational techniques when people want help moving from thinking about change to actually making changes.
People who come for counselling usually talk about what is happening in their day-to-day life and try out different ways of managing hard feelings. Gerrard works collaboratively to set goals and test practical strategies. For international or UK enquiries, sessions are conducted in English and further details on formats should be confirmed before booking.
How Gerrard uses emotion-focused and client-led approaches online
Gerrard works with client-centred therapy, which means sessions begin with the individual’s perspective and feelings. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting what matters to the person and helping them find their own way forward. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and work with strong feelings that affect relationships and intimacy. It can be useful for those who want to understand emotional responses and change how they relate to others. Motivational Interviewing is a practical, goal-oriented style that helps people clarify reasons to change and build commitment. It is often used with issues such as substance use, behaviour change and sticking to new routines.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gerrard will discuss options with each person and agree what to try based on their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and may involve combining elements from different approaches to suit the situation.
The biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so please confirm available session types before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a session that uses less bandwidth. Registered or accredited professionals often offer online options to help counselling fit into everyday life rather than replace face-to-face care.
