Daniel Espitia

Daniel Espitia is an Integrative Gestalt Counsellor with Unicare Medical Centre and a member of the PSYMED team. He holds a Master's in Psychosomatics and supports people through life transitions, with a focus on trauma healing, including grief, attachment and transgenerational trauma, and close attention to how emotional experience is held in the body. His practice integrates Gestalt, somatic awareness, mindfulness and the therapeutic use of language. For over three decades he served as a senior international advisor to multilateral organisations and governments, including in post-conflict settings, giving him a deep understanding of how people and communities carry and heal from trauma across cultures. His current research spans two areas: anxiety as organismic intelligence, and the therapeutic applications of Buddhist philosophical systems. He is an international speaker on trauma, grief, anxiety, mindfulness, Buddhism and men's work. He works in English and Spanish.
