About David
David Cuff is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, sleep problems and grief. He works with worries about self-esteem, relationships, addiction and life changes. He also supports those dealing with trauma, compassion fatigue, ADHD and concerns linked to parenting and career. David practises from a humanistic, person-centred outlook and aims to follow each client’s pace.
He uses a gentle, relational style that pays attention to feelings and bodily experience. Sessions often focus on making sense of what has happened and on using personal strengths to cope now. He describes his role as a companion for part of a person’s journey rather than an adviser.
David is LGBTQI+ affirmative and takes a non-judgemental stance towards neurodiversity. He attends to how early experiences shape present patterns, including unfinished business from childhood. Work in sessions may include exploring current relational patterns and the emotions they bring up.
His background includes a postgraduate professional qualification in humanistic psychotherapeutic counselling from the University of Brighton and BACP membership, which is recorded here as BACP. He has completed additional study in online and telephone counselling, relational depth and child protection in education.
People can expect a practical, experiential approach that notices both thoughts and bodily sensations. David aims to help clients find clearer meaning in their experiences and build ways of coping that fit their daily lives.
How David’s approaches translate to online therapy
David works from a person-centred perspective that prioritises the client’s experience and choices. In practice this means sessions focus on what feels most pressing to the client, using open listening and questions that help people find their own direction.He also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to notice and work with relationship patterns and attachment feelings. This can help when people want to understand repeated emotional responses or improve how they relate to others. Existential therapy features in his work too, inviting clients to talk about meaning, values and the life decisions that feel difficult.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. David aims to discuss options with each person and to adapt methods to fit their needs, goals and preferences. He works collaboratively so clients can try different ways of working and see what helps them most.
Practical benefits of online and phone-based counselling include fitting sessions around work or family life and reducing travel time. Some people prefer shorter check-ins by phone when time is limited, while others favour longer video conversations for in-depth exploration.
