About David
David Cuff is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and trauma. He works with issues such as relationships, self-esteem, addictions and coping with life changes. He describes his style as gentle and client-led, listening for what matters most in the moment and following the person's pace.
David uses a humanistic, person-centred approach that aims to help people make sense of their experiences. He values relational depth and believes people have inner resources they can draw on.
Background and approach
He is LGBTQI+ affirmative and treats neurodiversity as a difference rather than a disorder. Sessions often explore how past events shape present feelings and behaviour. David pays attention to bodily sensations as part of the process and works with emotions that feel stuck or unresolved.
He helps people find ways to move forward and to bring closure to unfinished personal issues. He holds the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy professional qualification at post-graduate level from the University of Brighton, and has additional professional certification in online and telephony counselling. He also has training in working at relational depth and child protection in education.
David brings seven years of clinical experience and practises within the BACP ethical framework. He offers practical, everyday language in sessions so people can understand what is happening and take next steps that make sense for their life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and following the client's lead. Online this means the counsellor gives space for what matters most and mirrors feelings so clients feel heard and understood. It is useful for people wanting non-directive support with life stress and relationship concerns.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) attends to the patterns of emotional connection and how emotions shape interactions. In remote sessions the therapist helps people name and work with strong feelings and attachment-related worries, which can ease loneliness and improve how someone responds to close relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit a person's needs, goals and preferences. This might mean trying a few ways of working and adjusting as the relationship develops.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets people read facial expressions and body language, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can support brief check-ins and messaging suits ongoing reflection between appointments. These options give flexibility so therapy can fit around work, family and daily life.
