About Gerrard
Gerrard Fauguel is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 23 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties and addiction. He also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, sleep problems and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
Gerrard describes a person-centred way of working that keeps the client at the centre of sessions. He listens for what matters to the person in front of him and responds with practical, hands-on conversation. Sessions aim to identify unhelpful patterns such as people-pleasing, difficulty saying no, or staying in relationships that cost a person their sense of self.
He draws on emotionally-focused ideas to look at how feelings shape relationships, and on solution-focused methods to set concrete steps for change. Motivational interviewing helps when people feel stuck or unsure about taking the next step. Gerrard also references humanistic and psychodynamic influences to understand life history and meaning.
His work covers additional concerns people often bring, including attachment and abandonment struggles, codependency, substance issues, domestic violence, and coping with major life changes. He is used to supporting people affected by illness, loss, or traumatic events.
Sessions are conducted in English and Gerrard accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, users are asked to select the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online counselling
Gerrard works in a person-centred way that focuses on the individual’s priorities and experience. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and validating what a person brings, and it can help when someone needs to rebuild a sense of self after long-term people-pleasing or codependent patterns.Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on how emotions shape bonds and interactions. It aims to help people understand their emotional responses and how these affect relationships and intimacy. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel ambivalent about change by clarifying values and building commitment to small steps forward.
Finding the right approach is often part of early sessions. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit the person’s needs, goals and preferences rather than imposing one model. This discussion will guide whether sessions focus more on feelings, decisions or practical steps.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can use these practical benefits to help therapy sit alongside family, work and other commitments.
