Daniel Gunn, BACP

Daniel Gunn is a psychotherapist who helps adults navigate stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and relationship struggles. He works with people facing chronic health conditions, mood challenges, addictions and difficulties around parenting or intimacy. Daniel communicates plainly and focuses on helping people manage day-to-day symptoms while making space for deeper healing.

He trained in psychology, completing a BSc in psychology at the Open University and a diploma in therapeutic counselling from CPCAB. He also holds a postgraduate diploma in psychopathology theory and practice. Daniel is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - and has nine years of experience across agency and private practice settings.

Daniel’s approach blends talking with body-aware and experiential methods. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas and client-centred listening to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding. He also uses Emotionally-Focused and existential ideas when exploring meaning, relationships and deep emotional pain.

Sessions begin with an assessment to work out priorities and safety, then Daniel teaches simple self-regulation skills before any deeper trauma work or problem solving. He aims for practical steps people can use between sessions to cope with pain, low mood or health-related life changes.

People can expect a collaborative style that honours cultural background and personal beliefs. Daniel speaks English and German and has worked with people from a range of cultures and life experiences.

How Daniel’s Approaches Fit Online and in Life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being ruled by them, then choose actions that fit their values. It suits worries, persistent low mood and life changes by teaching practical exercises to refocus attention. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and safety in close connections; it can help with intimacy, shame and relational trauma. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a warm, non-judgemental relationship where the person’s own pace and insights guide change, which is useful for building trust and working through painful experiences.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Daniel will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, and will adapt methods collaboratively so the therapy fits the person rather than forcing a single model. That shared planning helps people try small changes between sessions and review what helps.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-in meetings when needed. It also lets people work from different places when schedules are busy, and it supports consistent contact with a registered or accredited professional during ongoing health or life transitions.
