About David
David Cuff is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years of clinical experience. He works with adults on issues such as anger, anxiety, stress, relationships, grief and self-esteem. He also addresses addictions, trauma, intimacy struggles and life changes, and is affirmative of LGBT clients and neurodiversity.
He uses a person-centred, experiential approach that follows the client’s lead in sessions. Conversations often include attention to bodily feelings and present-moment experience. He values helping people make sense of past events and how those events shape current feelings and responses.
David describes the impact of early adverse experiences on how people behave now. He helps clients notice patterns that started in childhood and practise different ways of responding in the present. This can include working through unfinished business and drawing on internal resources to manage difficult emotions.
Sessions tend to be relational and non-judgemental, with an openness to emotional depth. His style is gentle and curious, often focusing on what is felt in the body as well as the story someone brings. He explicitly frames neurodiversity as a difference rather than a disorder.
David holds a postgraduate professional qualification in Humanistic Psychotherapeutic Counselling from the University of Brighton and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He also has professional certifications in online and telephony counselling, working at relational depth, and child protection in education.

How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
David commonly uses Client-Centred and Emotionally-Focused methods in his work. Client-Centred Therapy centres the person’s perspective and prioritises listening and reflection, which helps when someone needs space to understand their feelings. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how emotions drive those patterns, useful for anger tied to intimacy or communication issues.He also draws on somatic ideas by noticing bodily sensations alongside thoughts and feelings. That can help people recognise how anger shows up physically and practise different ways of responding in the moment.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. He will work with each person to identify which methods feel most helpful, adjusting the style to match goals and preferences. The first sessions often involve talking about what someone wants to change and trying practical ways to work on it together.
If you want to use online sessions, please confirm the current session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals often use remote sessions to keep continuity of care for people juggling work and family commitments.
