About Daniel

Daniel Gunn is a counsellor who focuses on men's wellbeing and other life challenges. He works with adults and aims to make sessions straightforward and practical. He invites people to talk about stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, addiction, and struggles with self-esteem and life purpose.

Daniel brings nine years of experience in counselling and psychotherapy, and he holds BACP registration, which he lists as BACP. He trained in psychology and counselling and has worked in agency settings and private practice. He has lived and worked across different cultures, which informs his understanding of diverse life experiences.

His approach is collaborative and down to earth. He uses a mix of talking, grounding exercises, and practical self-regulation tools before moving into deeper work. Sessions explore both present difficulties and past patterns to help people find clearer ways of handling emotions and relationships.

Daniel draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Client-Centred practice, Emotionally-Focused ideas, and Existential perspectives. He also has experience in trauma-related methods and aims to balance thinking and feeling when helping people move forward.

He offers sessions in English and German and is open to working with international clients. Prospective clients are encouraged to use the platform’s Start Therapy process to match and schedule a session with him.

How Daniel's approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking helpful action even when thoughts or feelings are difficult. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and finding direction. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns that formed in early relationships and how they affect current connections; this can be useful for relationship and intimacy-related struggles. Client-Centred Therapy centres the client's own experience, with the counsellor offering empathetic listening and gentle reflection to help people find their own answers.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative conversation may adapt over time as practical techniques and deeper work are balanced to match what helps most.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life. It can reduce travel time and allow sessions to be scheduled around work or family commitments. If you want to know the exact session formats Daniel offers, please confirm the available options before booking, as formats are set by the therapist. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these approaches online using talk-based work, guided exercises, and pacing suited to the client’s situation.
