About David
David Cuff is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and money and financial issues. He works with clients who are struggling with self-esteem, addiction, sleep or eating problems, ADHD and mood difficulties such as depression and bipolar. He offers an affirming, non-discriminatory space for LGBT people and those navigating parenting or career pressures.
David follows a humanistic, person-centred way of working. Sessions are gentle and led by the client. He listens for what is happening in the moment and pays attention to bodily sensations alongside thoughts and feelings.
He believes past experiences - especially adverse childhood events - shape the way people live now. Rather than focusing on labels, he helps clients make sense of their story and draw on their own strengths to move forward. This often includes talking through unfinished business and finding ways to close a chapter.
David trained to postgraduate level in Humanistic Psychotherapeutic Counselling at the University of Brighton and holds the BACP credential, which indicates professional membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He has seven years' experience in therapeutic work.
His practice is underpinned by relational depth and a holistic view of the person. He is curious about felt experience and supports clients to notice how relationships and life events shape their choices. People who prefer a calm, exploratory style may find his approach helpful.
How his therapeutic approaches transfer online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping people find their own answers. Online work can still centre the client's pace and priorities, allowing space to talk through relationship problems, grief or financial worries.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotional patterns in close relationships and helps people notice and change unhelpful cycles. In virtual sessions this method supports people to name feelings, track interactions and try new ways of relating between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss which methods fit a person's needs, goals and preferences and will adapt the way they work together as those needs change. This is a collaborative process where the client helps decide the direction.
Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or reducing the time taken from a workday. They also let people attend from different locations while keeping a regular schedule and continuity of care.
