About Daniel
Counsellor and member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with nine years' experience. Daniel Gunn works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. He also supports people dealing with addictions, parenting pressures, intimacy concerns, anger, self-esteem and mood disorders.
Daniel uses straightforward conversation and practical techniques in sessions. He explains ideas simply and teaches self-regulation skills before moving into deeper work. Sessions focus on making sense of current problems and looking at how past experiences may affect present life.
He trained in psychology and counselling in the UK, completing a BSc in psychology and a diploma in therapeutic counselling. He later studied psychopathology theory and practice. Daniel has worked in agency settings and private practice. He has experience supporting people from different cultural backgrounds and accepts international clients.
His practice draws on several approaches. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports values-led action. Attachment-based methods look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Client-centred work keeps the conversation focused on the person rather than the therapist. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and existential ideas are also used as needed.
Daniel speaks English and German. He asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session. Costs vary with location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and how online counselling works
Daniel often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). ACT looks at what matters to you and builds small actions that match those values while reducing unhelpful avoidance. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes.He also works with attachment-based ideas. This approach looks at how early relationships shape patterns in present relationships and trust. It can help with intimacy issues, relationship stress and some trauma-related problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Daniel will discuss different methods with each person and agree a way forward together. That means choosing methods based on your needs, goals and preferences rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
If you are considering online counselling, confirm the exact session formats before booking. The therapist uses a subscription payment model and asks new clients to complete a matching questionnaire first. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow for a shorter check-in when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often find that some practical issues - for example quieter surroundings or not needing to be on camera - make a particular session style a better fit, and these can be discussed at your first appointment.
