Daniel Gilsenan - Psychotherapist and Recovery Coach

Understand yourself to transform your life

I offer psychoanalytically informed psychotherapy and recovery coaching in the City of London, and globally via Zoom.

I am a highly trained psychodynamic psychotherapist and recovery specialist with many years experience working in both clinical and corporate/organisational settings.

My approach is unique in that I combine deep experience of these two worlds - the commercial and the clinical/therapeutic. I spent twenty years working in high pressure high performance environments in the City of London and in senior leadership roles in major corporates before retraining as an organisational and social psychologist and psychodynamic psychotherapist. I understand the challenges of these roles and environments. My extensive training and lengthy and intensive personal therapy enables me to help you think about how your personal perspective or inner world interacts with your context or environment.

  • “I am extremely fortunate to have found Daniel; his coaching sessions have been extremely helpful for both personal and professional growth.”

  • “Combining years of corporate business experience with a strong background in psychological (mind and behaviour) training, Dan is uniquely capable to get to the root of the big questions and define solid strategies for success.”

  • “Dan is extremely warm and caring; you truly feel like you are speaking with a close friend—a friend who brings strong objectivity and tremendous depth of experience.”

  • “Dan has challenged me to think differently. His emotional intelligence is exceptional — he quickly got to understand me as an executive and a person, but also was always quick to understand situations and put himself in my shoes, or the shoes of others, and understand their motives”

  • “Dan coached me as I managed a difficult relationship with my new manager and, using his own corporate experiences, was able see things from my perspective and so help navigate me through that new relationship. Thanks to Dan’s coaching, I was able to recalibrate how I approached my interactions with new manager, and consequently built a far more positive relationship.”

  • “Working with Dan enabled me to take a new look round me, decide where I wanted to go next, and set a course to get there. Within a few short sessions and, interestingly, without me really noticing, we had clarified my feelings towards my current situation, how I might approach recent and impending workplace changes, and which specific areas I might profit from paying closer attention to.”
