Gerrard Fauguel is a BACP-registered person-centered counsellor based in the Greater Manchester area of the United Kingdom, bringing 23 years of experience supporting people through life’s difficulties. He has worked with a broad range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship and family problems, parenting challenges, career transitions, addiction, autism spectrum conditions, ADHD, and the effects of physical trauma or emotional abuse.

Gerrard’s background includes work as a counsellor and life coach, and his practice emphasises a warm, open, and interactive therapeutic relationship. He treats people with sensitivity, respect, and compassion and avoids stigmatizing labels. His approach draws on person-centered principles alongside elements of humanistic, psychodynamic, and rational-emotive therapy, allowing him to adapt methods to the needs of each individual.

In sessions Gerrard tailors treatment to the unique circumstances and goals of each client, helping them explore feelings, build coping skills, and work toward meaningful change. He welcomes clients who are ready to take steps toward healing and personal growth and offers support throughout that process. He is accepting new clients and also works with international clients by offering remote options of care.

Approaches That Guide Online Therapy and How It Helps

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client’s experience and fosters a nonjudgmental, empathetic space where people can explore feelings and make their own choices. It is helpful for issues like anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, and navigating life changes because it prioritises the individual’s pace and perspective.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and work with core emotions and patterns in relationships. It is useful for couples and individuals dealing with attachment concerns, relationship distress, and intense emotional responses that interfere with connection.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, directive method that supports people who feel ambivalent about change. It can be especially helpful for addictions, coping with health challenges, and taking steps toward new goals.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Gerrard collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the approach as progress unfolds. Licensed professionals and therapists often blend techniques to suit each client’s situation.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to access consistent support around work, family, or travel commitments. This range of options helps maintain continuity of care and makes it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life.
