About Daniel

Daniel Gunn offers straightforward, practical support for adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma and relationship challenges. He speaks English and German and works with people from diverse cultural backgrounds. Daniel draws on nine years of experience in counselling and psychotherapy across agency and personal settings.

He helps people by using clear, evidence-informed methods and a collaborative style. Sessions often begin with a short assessment to work out what matters most and what feels manageable.

02

How Daniel works

Daniel teaches simple self-regulation techniques early on so people have tools to use between meetings. Daniel trained in psychology and therapeutic counselling and completed postgraduate study in psychopathology. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has a background that includes group facilitation and supervisory work in agencies and independent practice.

His clinical focus grew to include trauma in 2020, and he works with trauma-related symptoms such as anger, shame, anxiety and relationship difficulties. He explains trauma using ideas from neuroscience and attachment, and brings that into the therapy conversation in practical ways. In sessions he prefers to combine body-aware and talk-based methods tailored to each person.

The aim is to make sense of present and past experiences, reduce distressing symptoms and help people try new ways of living that feel more satisfying and engaged.

Online support options

How Daniel’s approaches shape online therapy

Daniel often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment‑Based Therapy and Client‑Centred Therapy. ACT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values, useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Attachment‑Based work focuses on how early relationship patterns affect current connections and can help with intimacy, relationship worries and trauma‑related trust issues. Client‑centred therapy gives people space to be heard and understood, which supports self‑exploration and building self‑esteem. Finding the right mix of approaches is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and adjust methods as trust builds. Sessions often start with simple skills and short assessments so changes feel manageable and grounded in what the person actually needs. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text‑based messaging. Video is good for face‑to‑face conversation and seeing non‑verbal cues. Phone sessions work well when a quieter, low‑bandwidth option is needed. Live chat and messaging suit quick check‑ins, shorter reflections or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options give flexibility to fit therapy around work, family or travel and make regular contact easier for many people.
