Daniel Gunn , BACP

Daniel Gunn is a United Kingdom based psychotherapist with a strong focus on trauma, relationships, and the wide range of issues that affect adult life. He brings nine years of clinical experience working in agency settings and private practice, and he supports adults aged 21 to 80 from diverse cultural backgrounds. As a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), Daniel follows recognised professional standards, and he also holds the CCTP II credential, which identifies advanced training in clinical trauma work.

His training began with a BSc in Psychology from the Open University in 2015, followed by a diploma in therapeutic counselling from CPCAB in 2017 and a postgraduate diploma in psychopathology theory and practice from CONFER in 2020. He has supervised and facilitated groups and continues professional development in trauma-focused methods, including work toward EMDR-M certification and additional training in integrative, body-informed approaches.

Daniel combines evidence-informed methods to help clients manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction-related concerns, relationship and family issues, and trauma-related problems such as shame, dissociation, and attachment difficulties. He integrates psychological, social, identity, and spiritual factors when relevant, teaching self-regulation skills before progressing to deeper trauma work or problem solving. Therapy is collaborative and tailored to each person, aiming to reduce symptomatic suffering, explore the roots of current and past difficulties, and support meaningful change in everyday life.

Drawing on experience across cultures and a background in customer service and safety, Daniel emphasises practical tools alongside deeper relational work. He works with a wide clinical range including ADHD, bipolar-related concerns, chronic illness and pain, parenting and blended family challenges, and issues of purpose, isolation, and intimacy. Daniel works in English and German and accepts international clients.

Integrating evidence-based approaches for online support

Daniel draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside a client-centered stance to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect their values - it is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relational experiences shape current patterns in relationships and emotion regulation - it is well suited to intimacy-related issues, attachment wounds, and trauma-related relational struggles. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, nonjudgmental listening, and collaboration, creating a space where clients can lead the pace and focus of their healing and build confidence in their own resources.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Daniel works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting over time as circumstances change. This collaborative stance helps tailor treatment pathways that feel practical and meaningful.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow people to access therapy from different locations and at different times. These options support continuity of care, make scheduling easier around work and family commitments, and allow clients to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
