Adult Psychotherapist & Somatic Experiencing Practitioner.

Hello, my name is David Cunningham. I am a HCPC registered Psychotherapist, and a trauma informed Somatic Experience Practitioner. My approach offers talking and/or creative therapy. In my work I use a person-centred approach and adapt to the individual needs of my client.

The opposite to the experience of trauma or feeling overwhelmed, is connection: being seen, heard, and feeling like we matter. I feel very grateful to have worked as a creative therapist to help clients of all ages since I started my practice in 2014.  My approach offers people repair and reconnection to their needs, and the tools and choices they have to move forward.

Compassionate growth comes from finding our own way to be heard, seen and know that what we feel, matters! I offer you a way to become more aware of your own needs so you can show up more fully in world, with less effort that is free from anxiety and overwhelm.

I have over fourteen years of offering therapeutic support to adults who live with the emotional overwhelm of stress, anxiety, depression, self-harm, bereavement and trauma.

I offer practical therapeutic skills that both, help in your repair and to feel more control in your life.
