Daniel Gunn is a counsellor who aims to help adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship strain, grief and mood difficulties. He speaks English and German and draws on nine years of practice to support people through painful life events and confusing emotions. Daniel keeps therapy straightforward and practical, focusing on what someone needs right now.

He uses a blend of approaches to suit each person. That can mean working on patterns formed in early relationships, focusing on present feelings, or using acceptance-based ways to live with difficult thoughts.

Background and approach

Sessions also include teaching simple self-regulation skills before moving into deeper work when appropriate. Daniel trained in psychology and therapeutic counselling, holding a BSc in psychology and a diploma in therapeutic counselling, and he is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). His background includes agency work and independent practice, and he has experience across different cultures and settings.

Many people who see him are dealing with trauma-related symptoms, relationship problems, addictions, chronic pain or life transitions. He pays attention to how past attachments shape current difficulties, and he addresses issues such as shame, anger and isolation alongside more diagnostic concerns like bipolar or obsessive-compulsive patterns. Daniel describes therapy as a collaborative process.

He aims to help people understand the roots of their difficulties, reduce symptoms that get in the way, and try new ways of living that feel more meaningful. Sessions are shaped to the person and their everyday life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and still take action that matters to them. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes by teaching clear values and flexible behaviour. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships influence current bonds and trust; it can help with intimacy issues, attachment wounds and relational patterns. Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of sessions, using empathic listening and non-judgemental presence to build understanding and self-direction.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and will adapt methods as progress unfolds. That collaborative stance means people shape the plan and can try different techniques to see what helps.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this kind of work. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues for emotion-focused exercises. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a simpler option for a check-in. Live chat or text-based messaging supports shorter updates, written reflection and flexible contact between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel and family life while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
