About David
David Cuff is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years' practice. He works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, addiction, codependency and related issues. He also supports people dealing with self-esteem, coping with life changes, neurodiversity questions and mood difficulties.
David uses a person-centred, humanistic way of working. Sessions focus on what matters to the client and follow their lead. He pays attention to feelings, bodily experience and the here-and-now of what is happening in the room.
He describes his stance as non-judgemental and LGBTQI+ affirmative. He sees neurodiversity as a difference rather than a disorder and treats people respectfully regardless of background. David attends to how past experience, including difficult childhoods, shapes how someone lives today.
Practically, he helps people make sense of their experience. That can mean noticing patterns, naming difficult feelings, or working with physical sensations that come with stress and trauma. He encourages drawing on personal resources to manage current problems and to find closure with unfinished issues.
David qualified at postgraduate level in Humanistic Psychotherapeutic Counselling from the University of Brighton and holds the BACP professional qualification. He has additional training in working at relational depth and in online and telephone-based counselling. He works within the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework.
How sessions work
Approach and how online sessions are used
David often draws on person-centred work and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in online sessions. Person-centred work means the counsellor follows the client's lead, listens closely and helps people name what matters to them. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on feelings in relationships and can help when patterns of closeness and distance cause distress.He also uses somatic awareness in conversations, noticing bodily sensations that link with emotions and stress. That kind of noticing can make feelings clearer and give practical ways to manage strong reactions. Choosing which approaches to use is a collaborative process and he will discuss options based on the client's needs and goals.
The biography records training in online and telephone-based counselling, so confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. The therapist will work with the client to find the best way to make sessions productive and to suit practical constraints.
