About David
David Cuff is a humanistic psychotherapeutic counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and relationship difficulties. He also supports those dealing with codependency, self‑esteem struggles, addiction, trauma and life transitions. David works in a calm, person‑centred way that follows the client’s pace and priorities.
He uses an experiential, non‑judgemental style and is LGBTQI+ affirmative. Sessions often focus on what is happening in the moment, including bodily sensations, feelings and relational patterns. He emphasises practical ways to draw on a person’s own resources for coping and change.
David describes how past experiences shape present behaviour, especially when childhood events left unfinished business. He helps people make sense of those stories and find ways to move forward. The approach is gentle and relational, paying attention to emotions and personal meaning rather than a set script.
He holds the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy qualification at postgraduate level in Humanistic Psychotherapeutic Counselling from the University of Brighton. The bio also records additional professional certification in online and telephony counselling, working at relational depth, and child protection in education.
David brings seven years of practice experience in the United Kingdom and offers work that respects neurodiversity and the whole person. People who prefer a reflective, person‑centred conversation may find this style helpful.
Approaches in online counselling and what they offer
Client‑centred therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following the client’s lead. It helps people who need a supportive space to make sense of feelings and life choices. Emotionally‑Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns in close relationships and the emotions behind them, which can be useful for understanding attachment and intimacy issues. Existential therapy invites discussion about meaning, choice and responsibility, helping people facing big life questions or transitions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt methods to the client’s needs and goals. This is a collaborative process where preferences and practicalities shape how sessions proceed.
The biography notes professional certification in online and telephony counselling, but session formats are not fully listed here. Please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter or more frequent check‑ins when needed. It also lets people use approaches that pay attention to feelings and bodily experience from wherever they are able to join.
