About Daniel
Daniel Gunn offers straightforward, calm support for adults facing stress, anxiety, grief and other difficult life problems. He speaks English and German and aims to help people find practical ways to feel steadier and clearer. Daniel uses a conversational style and focuses on what matters to each person.
He brings nine years of experience in counselling and psychotherapy work. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and holds a BSc in Psychology from the Open University and a diploma in therapeutic counselling from CPCAB.
Background and approach
He also completed a postgraduate diploma in psychopathology theory and practice. Daniel draws on existential ideas to help people reflect on meaning, choice and responsibility during life changes. He also uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ways of working to help with relationships and emotional patterns.
In early sessions he will listen closely to what is causing distress and agree clear, practical steps. He teaches breathing and grounding skills before moving into deeper material. Work can include looking at life history, current patterns, and small experiments to try outside sessions.
People commonly bring concerns such as trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar and ADHD-related difficulties. Daniel also supports those coping with chronic illness, grief, loneliness and questions about life purpose. Sessions are offered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.
He accepts clients from the United Kingdom and internationally and aims for a collaborative, down-to-earth way of working.

Online support
How Daniel’s approaches translate to online therapy
Existential therapy invites people to look at meaning, choice and responsibility in their lives. Online sessions can use this approach to talk through values, difficult decisions and what gives life purpose, which helps with issues like emptiness, life changes and purpose-related concerns.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while taking actions that match personal values. This approach is practical and suited to managing anxiety, depression, avoidance and pain through small, concrete exercises and values-driven goals.
Attachment-based work looks at patterns in relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions. In online sessions this can help people understand why they react a certain way in close relationships and practise new ways of relating.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your concerns, discuss options and agree a plan that fits your goals and preferences. That plan can be adjusted as work progresses so you try what helps most.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work when internet bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing reflections between sessions or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family and travel schedules while keeping the focus on practical change.
