About David
David Cuff is a humanistic psychotherapeutic counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship problems and life changes. He also supports those struggling with self-esteem, addictions, LGBT issues, trauma and a wide range of emotional and behavioural concerns. David works in a calm, non-judgemental way and follows each person’s lead during sessions.
His style is grounded in person-centred values and an experiential stance. He pays attention to feelings, bodily experience and the relationships that shape a person’s life. Sessions aim to make sense of past events and to find practical ways to draw on inner resources for the present.
David sees how early experiences can shape current patterns, and he helps people trace those links without blame. He uses gentle curiosity to explore what is felt in the moment and how that informs choices now. This includes attention to attachment, abandonment issues and adoption and foster care when relevant to the client’s story.
He holds the BACP professional qualification at postgraduate level in Humanistic Psychotherapeutic Counselling from the University of Brighton and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. David has seven years of practice experience and has completed further professional work in online and telephony counselling, relational depth and child protection in education.
People who meet him can expect a relational, holistic approach that honours neurodiversity and LGBTQI+ affirming practice. The aim is to help clients move forward at a pace that feels manageable and to close unfinished chapters where possible.
How David’s approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on offering a respectful, non-judgemental space where the client’s perspective guides the work; it is useful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns and life transitions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and change emotional responses in close relationships by naming feelings and testing new ways of interacting. Somatic Therapy brings attention to bodily sensations and movement, which can help when trauma or stress is held in the body and when talking alone does not feel enough.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively with the client to decide which methods fit best for their goals and preferences, adjusting the style as trust and clarity grow. This is a joint exploration rather than a fixed prescription.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, making it easier to attend during a lunch break or between commitments, or allowing shorter check-ins when that suits the day. Registered or accredited professionals can use online work to maintain continuity of care and to offer a flexible way to access therapy without committing to long journeys.
