About David
David Cuff is a humanistic psychotherapeutic counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and life changes. He also works with issues such as addiction, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD and compassion fatigue.
David offers a calm, non-judgemental presence and aims to help people make sense of their experiences and find practical ways forward. He follows a person-centred approach that keeps the client’s pace and priorities at the centre.
Background and approach
Sessions often focus on the here and now, noticing felt senses and exploring what feels alive in the moment. David describes his style as relational and holistic - he pays attention to feelings, body experience and wider life factors that shape wellbeing.
David holds the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy credential, having completed postgraduate study in Humanistic Psychotherapeutic Counselling at the University of Brighton. He has seven years of practice experience and additional training in online and telephone counselling, relational depth work, and child protection in education.
He aims to be LGBTQI+ affirmative and takes a non-discriminatory stance, viewing neurodiversity as difference rather than disorder. The room is meant to be a place to talk through difficult memories, unfinished business, or the small, persistent struggles that make daily life harder.
Practical work in sessions can include talking, noticing body responses, and drawing on a person’s own resources to create change. David emphasises supporting people to live more in the present and to find closure where old patterns hold them back.

Approaches and how they work online
David commonly draws on person-centred work and emotionally-focused approaches to help people notice and work with feelings in the moment. Person-centred (Client-Centred) therapy means the counsellor follows your pace, listens without judgement and helps you explore what matters most to you. This style is useful for anxiety, low self-worth and life transitions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to close relationships and attachment patterns, helping people understand emotional responses in relationships and build stronger connections.He also integrates somatic ideas that attend to bodily sensations and how the body holds stress or trauma. Somatic techniques can help when feelings are stuck or when talking alone feels insufficient. Choosing the right approach is part of the work together - the therapist will discuss options and adapt the mix of methods to the client’s goals, needs and preferences in a collaborative way.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people meet face to face when distance or time makes in-person sessions hard. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions and can fit around work or caring responsibilities. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to make therapy more accessible and easier to fit into everyday life.
