Meet Dan 

I’m Dan Cunningham (MAAT Clinical Hons, PGDipAT, BA Hons ETA), a registered arts therapist (AThR), somatic practitioner, and yoga teacher. My work weaves together body, voice, and imagination, grounded in clinical training and a deep respect for each person’s unique journey.

​

Registered with ANZACATA and Yoga New Zealand (500-hour trauma-informed), I offer a trauma-informed, culturally sensitive approach to therapy. My practice has been shaped by years of experience across therapeutic, educational, and creative settings. Early training in embodied theatre and voicework, inspired by somatic and movement-based traditions, sparked a lifelong dedication to body-led healing. I integrate these foundations into my work today, blending psychotherapy with somatic and creative arts practices to support emotional well-being, self-expression, and resilience.
