About David
David Cuff is a counsellor who helps people facing depression, anxiety, stress and life changes. He works with concerns such as grief, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, self-esteem and sleep problems. He also offers support around parenting, career worries and neurodiversity-related challenges.
He is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and has seven years' experience. David follows a humanistic, person-centred style that listens first and follows the client's lead.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and grounded in everyday experience. He pays attention to feelings in the body as well as the story people tell about their lives. He describes his stance as non-judgemental and LGBTQI+ affirmative.
He sees neurodiversity as a difference rather than a disorder. This means he aims to respect identity and lived experience while exploring practical ways forward. David often helps people make sense of past events that still affect them now, including adverse childhood experiences.
He supports clients in drawing on their own internal strengths to find closure and to move into the present with greater ease. His background includes postgraduate study in humanistic psychotherapeutic counselling and additional professional courses in online and telephone counselling, relational depth, and child protection in education.
He practises within the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy framework and works from the United Kingdom. Sessions can be held by video call, phone, live chat or messaging. People interested in starting simply complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session through the Start Therapy button.

Online support
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on feelings in close relationships and how attachment shapes responses. It aims to help people identify and name emotional patterns that cause distress and to try different ways of relating to others. This can be useful for intimacy issues, anger and relationship-related stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and happens together. The therapist will discuss options and adapt methods to suit the client's needs, goals and preferences. Sessions are collaborative and paced to what each person can manage.
Online therapy lets people choose formats that fit their life. Video calls offer face-to-face conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit day-to-day support, brief reflections, or when writing feels more comfortable than speaking.
These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, caring responsibilities or travel. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to offer consistent, ongoing support across different communication styles.
