Daniel Gunn , BACP

Daniel Gunn is a United Kingdom based psychotherapist who brings nine years of clinical experience working across agency settings and private practice. He is a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP II) and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) - the national professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. He works with adults aged 21 to 80 and offers support for a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family difficulties, grief, addictions, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes.

Daniel trained academically with a BSc in psychology (Open University, 2015), a diploma in therapeutic counselling (CPCAB UK, 2017), and a postgraduate diploma in psychopathology theory and practice (CONFER UK, 2020). He has developed additional trauma expertise and holds trauma-focused credentials; since January 2020 he has concentrated on trauma work and is currently working towards EMDR-M certification, a modified form of EMDR that integrates attachment skills. His training blends ancient wisdom and modern science and includes body-focused methods, experiential dynamic approaches (AEDP), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), EMDR, internal family systems (IFS), somatic psychology, and mindfulness-based techniques.

Raised in West Africa and shaped by extensive travel and work across diverse cultures, Daniel brings a broad understanding of human behaviour and multicultural concerns. His background in customer service, surveillance, and health and safety informs a practical, grounded style. He takes a collaborative, holistic approach - integrating biological, psychological, social, identity, intuition, and spiritual dimensions when appropriate - and teaches self-regulation strategies before engaging in deeper trauma or problem-focused work. His aim is to explore roots of current difficulties, reduce symptomatic suffering so healing can follow, and support clients to engage more fully in life outside the therapy room. Daniel provides therapy in English and German and is accepting new and international clients.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Daniel uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and to clarify personal values so actions align with what matters most - useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore relationship patterns that stem from early bonds and to build more secure ways of relating - helpful for intimacy difficulties, attachment issues, and relational trauma. Client-Centered Therapy provides a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients lead the pace of work while the therapist offers empathic understanding and support - effective for building self-esteem and processing emotional concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Daniel works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and strengths, and will adapt methods as therapy progresses so the chosen approach fits the client's needs and circumstances.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, or via live chat and text-based messaging when that better suits daily life. Remote work makes it easier to arrange appointments around work, family, or mobility needs, while still allowing therapists to provide focused, consistent support for stress, trauma, relationships, mood, and other common challenges.
