About David
David Cuff is a BACP-accredited counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with seven years of experience. He works with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties, self-esteem problems, addiction and a wide range of other concerns. Sessions are offered in English and aim to help people make sense of what has happened to them and how it affects daily life.
David describes his approach as person-centred and experiential. He prefers to follow the client’s lead and pay attention to felt senses in the moment. He also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to, where helpful, look at how emotions shape patterns in relationships and personal responses.
He recognises the role of the body in holding experience and uses somatic-informed work when that is useful. Existential and Jungian influences appear in how he invites people to consider meaning, life choices and inner images that surface during sessions. The overall stance is non-judgemental and LGBTQI+ affirmative.
David holds a postgraduate qualification in Humanistic Psychotherapeutic Counselling from the University of Brighton and records BACP as his professional credential. He has undertaken additional training in online and telephony counselling, working at relational depth, and child protection in education.
People who come to him often want practical ways to cope with current strain, closure for past events, or clearer understanding of repeating patterns. He encourages drawing on personal resources so daily life feels more manageable and decisions can be clearer.

How his approaches translate to online work
David blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy with a person-centred stance. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps identify and work with core emotions that shape how people respond to stress and relationship patterns. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s concerns so they can make sense of their experience and decide what matters next.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will talk with the client about needs, goals and preferences and collaboratively decide which methods to use. That conversation can include trying different ways of working and checking in about what feels helpful.
The biography notes training in online and telephony counselling, but session formats are not specified here. Before booking, confirm the current session options on the site. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule appointments around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people access the same therapeutic approaches from a distance while the therapist and client agree the best practical arrangements.
