About David Cuff
David Cuff is a humanistic psychotherapeutic counsellor who holds a postgraduate qualification in Humanistic Psychotherapeutic Counselling from the University of Brighton and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He works from the conviction that people have the capacity to grow and find meaning, and he supports others in navigating their unique life journeys with a non-judgemental and relational approach.
David practices in a person-centred, LGBTQI+ affirmative way, recognising neurodiversity as a difference rather than a disorder. His work is holistic and experiential, attentive to both internal experiences and external life factors. He often explores how the body stores experience and draws on clients' existing resources to support change and resilience.
Sessions tend to be gentle and client-led, with curiosity about felt senses and what arises in the moment. David helps clients make sense of feelings of aloneness, relationship struggles, adverse childhood experiences and unfinished business, supporting them to live more fully in the present by drawing on internal strengths.
In addition to his postgraduate training, David holds professional certification in online and telephony-based counselling from the Open University/BACP and The Online Therapy Institute, has completed Working at Relational Depth training with CARA, and holds a Child Protection in Education qualification from Educare. He practices according to the ethical framework of the BACP and brings those standards into his therapeutic work in the United Kingdom.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
David works from several complementary therapeutic approaches that can be delivered effectively online. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on providing a supportive, non-directive environment where the person leads the conversation and discovers their own solutions - it is useful for building self-esteem, coping with life changes, and improving relationships.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and reorganise patterns in close relationships by exploring underlying emotions and attachment needs - it is often used for relationship difficulties and for managing strong emotional responses. Somatic Therapy attends to bodily sensations and how experiences are held in the body, helping people who find emotions are expressed physically or who are working with trauma and stress-related symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. David will collaborate with each person to identify what best fits their needs, goals, and preferences, drawing on principles commonly used by registered professionals and therapists where helpful.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter interactions are possible via live chat or text-based messaging. This range of options supports accessibility across different schedules and life situations, allowing therapy to be arranged around work, caregiving, mobility, or geographic constraints while maintaining continuity of care.
