About David
David Cuff is a humanistic psychotherapeutic counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain and life changes. He is experienced with issues such as low self-esteem, addictions, trauma, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, and work-related stress. David also supports people navigating neurodiversity, LGBT matters and parenting challenges.
He uses a gentle, client-led style that follows what each person brings to the session. The work is conversational and experiential, with attention to feelings, bodily sensations and present-moment experience.
Background and approach
He describes himself as a companion on part of a person’s journey rather than an authority figure. David practises from a humanistic base and draws on Jungian ideas alongside client-centred and emotionally-focused ways of working. Somatic ideas are used when the body’s responses are helpful to understand what is happening.
He values meaning-making and pays attention to how past events shape current patterns. He holds the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy professional qualification at post-graduate level in Humanistic Psychotherapeutic Counselling from the University of Brighton and is a BACP member. He has additional-certified training in online and telephone counselling, working at relational depth, and child protection in education.
Sessions aim to help people make sense of their experiences and to access their own internal resources. David aims to create a non-judgemental and LGBTQI+ affirmative space that respects neurodiversity and the whole person.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
David blends Jungian ideas with client-centred and emotionally-focused ways of working. Jungian Therapy encourages exploring personal symbols, dreams and life stories to find meaning and understanding, which can help when people feel stuck or disconnected from their sense of self. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and following the client’s lead, useful for building trust and exploring emotions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding and shifting emotional patterns, which can help with relationship and attachment-related issues.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then adapt methods as the relationship develops. The process is collaborative and responsive to the person’s needs rather than fixed to a single technique.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and working with non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who find writing easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring commitments or travel.
