About Daniel
Daniel Gunn is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with nine years of experience. He works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, parenting concerns, and intimacy-related difficulties. Sessions are offered in English and German and Daniel accepts international clients.
He uses practical, moment-to-moment work to help people manage strong feelings and recurring patterns. He teaches self-regulation skills early on, then moves to deeper work when the client is ready. He often combines talking with body-aware methods to balance thinking and feeling.
Daniel trained in psychology and counselling and has experience in agency and private settings. His background includes group facilitation and roles in customer service and health and safety, which inform his straightforward style. He draws on both contemporary therapy and older wisdom to shape his approach.
Trauma work features strongly in his practice. He understands trauma through a neuroscience lens and attends to attachment and developmental issues. He helps people who experience trauma symptoms such as anger, anxiety, depression, pain, shame, and relationship difficulties.
During the first assessment he will aim to clarify concerns and check fit. From there he uses a mix of acceptance and commitment techniques, attachment-focused ideas, emotionally-focused work and client-centred methods to help people try different ways of responding in daily life.
How sessions work
Approaches you may meet in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes.Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It is often used when trust, intimacy or family-of-origin issues are part of the problem.
Client-Centred Therapy gives the person space to lead the conversation while the counsellor listens and reflects. This can help when someone needs to make sense of strong emotions or decide next steps.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable. Together they will try different techniques and adjust the work as things change.
