Gerrard Fauguel, BACP

Gerrard Fauguel is a BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) registered Person-Centred counsellor and life coach based in Greater Manchester in the United Kingdom, bringing 23 years of professional experience to his practice.

He has supported people facing a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, career transitions, addiction, and neurodiversity-related needs such as autism spectrum conditions and ADHD. He has also worked with individuals recovering from physical trauma and those who have experienced emotional abuse.

Gerrard's manner is warm, open, and interactive. He emphasises respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and avoids stigmatizing labels when working with people. His clinical orientation is informed by humanistic, psychodynamic, and rational-emotive influences, and he adapts his way of working to the specific needs of each person he sees.

He encourages those ready to take the first steps towards change and offers steady support through that process. Gerrard aims to create a collaborative environment where clients can explore their concerns and build practical, meaningful ways forward.

Approaches and online support tailored to individual needs

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on providing an accepting, non-judgemental space where the person is at the centre of the work; it helps people who need to explore feelings, build self-understanding, and strengthen their own capacity for change. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and work with underlying emotional patterns in relationships and personal difficulties, making it useful for relationship concerns and attachment-related issues. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented approach that helps people resolve ambivalence and find their own motivation for change, often used with behavioural concerns such as addictions or lifestyle changes.

Finding the right way of working is part of the therapeutic process. Gerrard collaborates with each person to determine which approach, or combination of approaches, best fits their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as work progresses.

Online therapy with Gerrard is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access support from home or while travelling and allow people to continue therapy in a format that suits their daily life.
