About Me:
Daniel Gunn. I am a psychotherapist with a PGDip and | CCTP II. I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP), with 8 years of experience working in an agency setting including private practice. I work with adults aged 18-83 from distinct cultures and backgrounds. I supervised and facilitated groups in the same agency and also in private practice. I received my BSc in psychology from the Open University London in 2015 and a Diploma in Therapeutic counselling from CPCAB UK in 2017. My Postgraduate Diploma in Psychopathology Theory and Practice I received from CONFER UK in 2020.
How did I get here?
As a teenager growing up in West Africa, I started observing people out of curiosity, which became my hobby. I am fortunate, that my mother exposed me to spirituality and diversity around the same time, which has given me support in life during challenging times.
Previously, I had an extensive background in customer service, surveillance, health, and safety which are transferable skills to counselling and psychotherapy. In addition, I have travelled quite extensively, and having lived in distinct cultures has enhanced my understanding of human behaviour.
Training:
I trained in Ancient Wisdom and Modern Science (neuroscience). This allows me to integrate Body-Focused Therapy, Experiential Dynamic Therapy (AEDP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), CBT, EMDR, IFS, Somatic Psychology and Mindfulness-Based Interventions. With these evidence-based approaches, I help my clients overcome life challenges, and find the right balance between thinking and feeling.
Specialities:
As I experienced more clients present with trauma, I started specialising in Trauma in Jan 2020. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional Level 2, and currently, working towards EMDR certification. I am noticeably confident working with trauma and trauma-related symptoms. I understand trauma through the lens of neuroscience, such as attachment or what is also known as relational trauma, ACEs/shock and developmental trauma, anger, anxiety, chronic depression, pain, relationship issues, shame, and sexual issues.
My Approach:
With your permission and collaboration, we will tailor-make treatment holistically to you, incorporating bio-psycho-social-identity-intuition-spirituality where necessary. The application takes place in the here and now. A first assessment allows for confidentiality and a possible good fit. I teach various self-regulation techniques before doing deeper trauma work or problem-solving. Together, we work bottom up and top down making sense of whatever you present, to find the right balance between your thinking and feeling.
My Goal: to explore the roots of current or past experiences, to eliminate symptomatic suffering so that healing can occur, to live at peak capacity, to love and receive love, to work, to create, to be curious, and to fully engage in life by doing things differently in the "real world" outside of the therapy room.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Very supportive at a very difficult time
Daniel is really good. I Like that he is very direct and Open.
Daniel ist ein wahrer Sonnenschein! Jede Stunde mit ihm macht mich stärker und lässt mich aufatmen, da er einen versteht und unterstützt. Er bringt viel eigene Erfahrung mit ein und teilt offen seine Gedanken. Von der ersten Sekunde an konnte ich ihm vertrauen und mich öffnen. Ich bin ihm so dankbar für seine Zeit
Ich fühle mich extrem wohl und gut aufgehoben bei Daniel.
- Great therapist with fantastic balance between listening/understanding and guiding/explaining - Helped me move my consciousness with regards to mental wellbeing and peace of mind - Good exercises to integrate into my life for more awareness and consciousness - Can recommend wholeheartedly
Vielen Dank für deine Aufmerksamkeit und ehrliches Interesse, deine Empathie und Offenheit, Daniel!
He is one of the greatest listeners and a great therapist with a deep understanding of human emotions and sufferings.
Ich bin sehr sehr glücklich an einen so guten Therapeuten gekommen zu sein. Ich glaube das er mir sehr viel helfen kann und ich gestärkt aus der Therapie rausgehen kann.
Daniel Gunn has helped me in so many ways, in such a short time. I am so grateful
My first two sessions with Daniel were absolutely great! It seems that he understands my points even though I'm not able to articulate them properly due to my situation. He is very empathic and patient in order to understand my situation. He is a great therapist!
Working with Daniel has been a pleasure. His holistic approach has made me very comfortable and challenged me to accept myself and grow in ways I did not foresee when I started working with him. I highly recommend him if you are struggling with trauma and are open to embodying and mindful tactics + deep conversations.
Daniel helped me a lot with my anxiety and showed me ways to move on and live again.
After two sessions with Daniel, he has helped me to understand the best form of therapy to suit my specific needs, he makes me feel listened to and responds in a way that is easy to understand as well as using his expertise to identify scientific issues.
Daniel Gunn is a very good listener and always has the best suggestions. When you're talking to him, it feels like he understands your problems right away. I can highly recommend him.
Daniel understands and really helpful
Daniel is very competent and friendly in the same time. He knows how to solve people's issues and shows the right way to overcome them. I can only recommend.
A therapist who found his calling! Felt heard and seen and did have a great experience in progressing with my process that way.
Thank you for your attention, empathy and tips, which I will keep in mind! Thanks that you are helping people, stay as you are!
After 3 sessions I feel a big support from Daniel. He understands very well where I stand and what I need. I’m very glad we got matched. I indicated that I prefer a female therapist but I was open after reading his intro and my intuition was right. He is a great support for women‘s topics, in some ways maybe it’s even beneficial to have a mens perspective. He has empathy has a warm energy and speaks almost like a friend, so it’s easy to feel comfortable. I’m grateful.
I find Mr. Gunn a very competent therapist. I feel very well with him and can recommend him!
Great psychologist, helped me already in the first session.
Daniel is a great therapist! He helped me to go trough a very hard time in my life. Furthermore I felt much more better in very short time after the beginning of the therapy. I learned how to manage and stay calm in enormous difficult situations and most importantly to understand what is the real meaning of self love and self trust. I’m so grateful to Daniel for sharing with me his wisdom, for his support and for always asking the right questions!
Daniel is a wonderful therapist who understands the brain like no other. His techniques are highly recommended and he always has an open ear.
I talked to Daniel Gunn only once, as I have been searching in the meantime for a local therapy paid by the health insurance. He was very kind and able to hold emotions surfacing. Would have liked to continue.
It was very nice working with him. Very useful.
It was a pleasure
I've only had two sessions with Daniel and already he has impacted my life in profound and unforeseen ways. He is not only masterful in knowing exactly what to say to make me feel better and more open and free, but he leads me through the most relaxing meditations which I have then employed through the week, and he makes me feel validated and builds my confidence in the most natural, empowering way. I'm truly grateful to have been matched with him, as I don't feel alone on my journey anymore.
Daniel and I worked well during the first 2 sessions, during the last one I believe we are not a good match anymore, I think that the more I have to work on me, the little I can handle at the time and I am very sensitive to strong opinions and judgment independently of it’s the “truth” it took me a while to decide to write this review.
