About Daniel
Daniel Gunn is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with nine years of clinical experience. He works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy-related difficulties, addictions, and coping with life changes. Sessions are available in English and German, and he accepts international clients.
Daniel describes his approach as practical and relational. He uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas to help people notice their feelings and how those feelings shape relationships and decisions. He teaches simple self-regulation skills first, then moves into deeper work when the client is ready.
His background includes a BSc in psychology from the Open University and a diploma in therapeutic counselling from CPCAB UK, plus a postgraduate diploma in psychopathology theory and practice. He has worked in agency settings and private practice and has experience supervising groups and facilitating sessions in those settings.
Daniel draws on influences from body-focused and somatic approaches, existential thinking, and mindfulness. He describes trauma work informed by attachment and neuroscience, and he uses methods aimed at making sense of symptoms such as anger, shame, dissociation and chronic pain alongside mood problems.
In early sessions he carries out an assessment to agree goals and next steps. He aims to help clients develop skills they can use outside therapy, and to balance thinking with felt experience so changes can be tried in everyday life.
How Daniel uses EFT, ACT and attachment ideas online
Daniel often combines Emotionally-Focused Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based thinking. EFT focuses on naming and working with emotions and interaction patterns that keep problems repeating, which can help with relationship and intimacy-related difficulties. ACT emphasises values-driven action and practical exercises to manage difficult thoughts and feelings, which many people find useful for anxiety, depression and coping with change. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current ways of relating and responding to stress, and can be helpful for trauma-related symptoms and closeness issues.Finding the best approach is something to do together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then try methods with the client to see what fits. This is a collaborative process and can change as work proceeds.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, cut travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let someone speak from a location that reduces background noise or makes scheduling around work simpler. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use online work to keep therapy consistent with everyday life and responsibilities.
