Daniel Gunn, BACP

Daniel Gunn is a counsellor who aims to help adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and trauma-related difficulties. He works in English and German and supports people dealing with grief, depression, addictions, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem problems, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and other life changes. Daniel’s style is collaborative and practical, focusing on real-world steps clients can use between sessions.

Daniel trained in psychology and counselling, and he holds a BACP registration which appears as BACP. He has nine years of experience that includes agency work and independent practice. His background includes a BSc in psychology, a diploma in therapeutic counselling and a postgraduate diploma in psychopathology theory and practice.

He combines several therapeutic approaches to meet individual needs. That can mean helping someone notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to chosen values, exploring attachment patterns that shape relationships, or offering a person-centred space to reflect and be heard. Treatment is shaped with the client rather than imposed.

Daniel has a history of work in customer service, safety, and cross-cultural environments and has lived and travelled in diverse communities. These experiences inform his interest in multicultural concerns and in how life experience affects emotional responses.

In sessions he tends to teach self-regulation skills first, then move into deeper work when the client is ready. He sees symptoms such as anxiety, anger, shame or relationship difficulty as starting points for practical change. Clients are encouraged to try new behaviours outside sessions and report back so therapy stays grounded and useful.

Approaches that guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is helpful for anxiety, depression and life changes where a person wants more purposeful action rather than only feeling better first.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and emotional reactions. It can be useful for intimacy concerns, relationship strain and trauma-related responses that stem from attachment history.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and needs, and together they will pick methods that fit. This collaborative process can include trying an approach and adjusting it as therapy progresses.

If you are considering online therapy, check the available session options before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find that working this way still allows meaningful reflection, skill practice and progress when methods are adapted for remote meetings by experienced therapists.
