David Cunningham is a registered Art Psychotherapist and Somatic Experience practitioner, a background that has allowed him to develop a range of person-centred, creative and trauma-in- formed approaches. For over twelve years, David has been working with family members of all ages, who have been struggling to cope with high levels of anxiety, depression, rage or over- whelm.
Working with adults he offers them a safe space to know how their experience of trauma has been held in their body and an awareness of the choices and tools they have at their disposal to live a fuller life.
David’s creative work with children and young people uses age-appropriate sensory play, games and movement along with art-making to unlock and renegotiate trauma.
When we feel overwhelmed we often don’t have access to the words to express how we think and feel. That’s why our Nervous System can find welcome ease in using creative and non-verbal ways to connect to ourselves and the people around us.
