Registered Psychotherapist
About Me:
Daniel Gunn, PGDip is a Psychotherapist. 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 am a supervisor and group facilitator in the same agency including 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, security, health, and safety which are transferable skills to counselling and psychotherapy. In addition, having travelled quite extensively living in distinct cultures, enhanced my understanding of human behaviour.

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 thinking and feeling. The 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.
