Daniel Gunn, BACP

Daniel Gunn is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports adults through stress, anxiety, grief and other everyday challenges. He uses straightforward conversation to help people make sense of painful thoughts and habits. Sessions aim to help clients manage feelings and try different ways of living that fit their values.

Daniel draws on nine years of experience working in agency settings and private practice. He holds a BSc in psychology from the Open University and a diploma in therapeutic counselling from CPCAB, plus a postgraduate diploma in psychopathology theory and practice. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

In early work he supervised groups and supported people from many cultures, and he continues to bring that breadth of experience into conversations about identity and life transitions. He also speaks German in addition to English, which can help people more comfortable in those languages.

Daniel combines practical steps with reflective work. He often teaches self-regulation techniques first, then moves into deeper material when the client feels ready. He uses this balance to address symptoms such as low mood, anger, relationship strain, addiction and difficulties linked to trauma.

He names thoughts and everyday habits as a focus and helps people notice patterns that keep problems alive. Sessions aim to translate understanding into small, real-world changes so clients can live more in line with their values and priorities.

How certain approaches can help when working online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasises noticing thoughts without getting stuck in them and choosing small actions that match your values. It can help with anxiety, depression and habits that feel out of control. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relational patterns formed early in life and how they affect current relationships and emotional responses. This approach can be useful for intimacy struggles, shame and attachment-related distress. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a non-judgemental space where a person can be heard and understood; it helps many people feel safer to try new ways of thinking and behaving.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which methods fit best. That choice is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

Please confirm which session formats are available before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives - for example, shorter check-ins during a work break, fewer travel demands, or working without being on camera if that helps. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and self-regulation practices for remote sessions so you can practise new habits between meetings.
