Daniel Gunn is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety and relationship problems. He speaks English and German and works with adults from different cultural backgrounds. He draws on nine years of practice to guide people through grief, trauma, addiction and life changes.

Background and approach
Daniel uses practical techniques to help people feel steadier in day-to-day life. He teaches self-regulation skills early on so clients have tools they can use between sessions. He then works with whatever comes up, balancing talking and body-based ways of working.
His background includes agency work and independent practice, plus group supervision and facilitation. Time spent living and travelling across different cultures informs his approach to diverse life stories. He brings experience supporting people with attachment issues, dissociation, chronic pain and mood disorders.
When trauma is part of the picture, he combines relational and body-oriented methods with trauma-focused approaches. Sessions focus on making sense of experiences, reducing symptoms and helping people try new ways of living. He aims to help people reconnect with curiosity, creativity and a clearer sense of purpose.
Therapeutic approaches and online access
Daniel commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside a client-centred way of working. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values, which can be useful for anxiety and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns from close relationships and helps people understand how early bonds affect current feelings and reactions, often helping with intimacy and relational stress. Client-Centred Therapy provides a respectful, non-judgemental space where the person's own pace and priorities guide the work.Finding the best approach is part of the process and happens collaboratively. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped before, then try methods that fit the person's needs. Adjustments are made as the work progresses so the approach stays relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls let people use facial cues and tone, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat suits shorter check-ins or when people prefer not to be on camera. These options aim to increase flexibility and accessibility while keeping focus on the therapeutic work.
