About David
David Cuff is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years of practice. He works with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, grief, self‑esteem, parenting and relationship-related issues. He also supports people facing addictions, trauma, eating or sleeping difficulties, and life transitions.
He takes a person-centred, humanistic approach and follows the client’s lead in sessions. Conversation often focuses on what is being felt in the moment, and he pays attention to how the body and experience connect. He describes his style as experiential and relational, and says he works in an LGBTQI+ affirmative, non-judgemental way.
David notes that early experiences can shape how people live now. He helps people make sense of past events and the behaviours that come from them. He also supports practical coping, drawing on people’s own resources to find closure or clearer ways of moving forward.
His training includes a postgraduate BACP professional qualification in Humanistic Psychotherapeutic Counselling from the University of Brighton. He has additional certification in online and telephony counselling and training in working at relational depth and child protection in education. He works within the ethical framework of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Sessions are conversational and paced to what the person brings. David listens for patterns in relationships and attachment, and notices how feelings show up in the body. He aims to help people talk through what matters at home and in daily life, and to build practical ways to cope and reflect.
How sessions work
How his approaches guide online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person brings. It supports clearer self-understanding and can help when someone feels stuck with parenting stress or relationship worries.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how feelings organise the ways we connect with others. It can be useful for people wanting to understand patterns in close relationships and to respond differently to emotional triggers.
Existential Therapy encourages looking at meaning, choice and responsibility. It can help when life changes or losses leave a person questioning values or direction.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, and will adapt methods in collaboration with the client.
Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family routines, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find remote sessions help maintain continuity during busy weeks and make it simpler to attend when life is hectic.
