About Daniel Gunn
Daniel Gunn is a psychotherapist with a focused interest in trauma and a broad clinical background that spans nine years. He is a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP II) and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) - the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. He works with adults from about age 21 through to later life, supporting people from diverse cultural backgrounds and life experiences.
Daniel trained academically with a BSc in psychology from the Open University in 2015, a diploma in therapeutic counselling from CPCAB in 2017, and a postgraduate diploma in psychopathology theory and practice in 2020. His earlier career in customer service, surveillance, and health and safety contributed transferable skills that inform his clinical work, and extensive travel and time living in different cultures shape his understanding of human behaviour.
He integrates ancient wisdom and modern psychological science, combining body-focused work, experiential approaches, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic psychology, and mindfulness-based interventions. Since 2020 he has specialised in trauma and trauma-related stress and is working towards EMDR-M certification - a modified form of EMDR that incorporates attachment-focused skills. He understands trauma through a neuroscience-informed lens and works with complex and developmental trauma, relational and attachment-related trauma, and associated symptoms such as anger, anxiety, depression, pain, shame, and sexual difficulties.
Daniel adopts a collaborative, client-centred style, tailoring treatment to each person by considering biological, psychological, social, identity, intuitive, and spiritual factors where relevant. He begins with assessment and practical self-regulation techniques before progressing to deeper trauma processing or problem-solving, using both bottom-up and top-down methods to help clients balance thinking and feeling. His aim is to address the roots of present difficulties, reduce symptomatic suffering, and support people to engage more fully with life, relationships, work, creativity, and curiosity outside therapy.
