About David
David Cuff is a humanistic psychotherapeutic counsellor who focuses on anxiety, stress and relationship concerns. He offers calm, steady support while people work through grief, self-esteem struggles, addictions and life changes. Sessions are centred on the person in front of him and on what matters most right now.
He uses a gentle, client-led style that follows the person’s pace. That means listening closely, noticing bodily sensations and helping people make sense of strong feelings.
Background and approach
He describes counselling as a companioning process, helping people find their own path and build on inner resources. David takes a relational and holistic view. He pays attention to how early experiences shape current patterns and how those stories can be revised.
He recognises neurodiversity as difference rather than disorder and works in an LGBTQI+ affirmative way. His practice draws on several humanistic and experiential approaches, including client-centred work and emotionally focused ways of understanding attachment and feeling. He also uses somatic ideas that link body sensations with emotions, and reflective tools that invite meaning-making and self-exploration.
David holds the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy professional qualification at post-graduate level from the University of Brighton and has seven years of practice experience. He offers sessions in English to people in the United Kingdom, using a range of online formats to suit different needs.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening with empathy, accepting the person without judgement and following what the client brings to the session. It helps with anxiety, low self-esteem and difficulties that come from feeling misunderstood.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at attachment and emotion in relationships and helps people notice patterns in how they react and connect. This approach can be useful for relationship worries, intimacy-related issues and for understanding strong emotional responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods to a person’s goals and preferences in a collaborative way. That might mean trying an emotion-focused exercise one week and a body-awareness practice the next.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distance. Phone sessions are shorter and need less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer written reflection or want to check in between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, caring responsibilities and changing routines.
