About David
David Cuff is a humanistic psychotherapeutic counsellor who focuses on men’s wellbeing alongside a wide range of life concerns. He helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, self-esteem problems, and changes like career moves or parenting pressures. He works in a non-judgemental, LGBTQI+ affirmative way and follows the client’s lead in sessions.
David uses a gentle, relational style that pays attention to feelings in the body as well as thoughts. He believes people carry past experiences into the present and that talking about these can bring relief. He encourages clients to draw on their own resources and to make meaning of difficult events.
His approach is experiential and person-centred, which means conversations focus on what the client notices and feels in the moment. He also integrates emotionally-focused ideas and somatic awareness to support emotional connection and bodily sensing. Sessions aim to be practical and grounded rather than abstract.
David sees neurodiversity as a difference, not a disorder, and takes a holistic view of each person’s situation. He works with issues linked to childhood experiences, attachment and abandonment, and helps people find closure with unfinished stories from their past.
He holds the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy professional qualification at post‑graduate level in Humanistic Psychotherapeutic Counselling. He also has professional certification in online and telephony counselling and has training in working at relational depth and child protection in education.
Clients can expect a calm, curious listener who aims to help them move forward at their own pace.
How David uses talking and body‑aware work online
David blends person‑centred counselling with emotionally-focused and somatic ideas. Person‑centred work involves following what the client brings to a session, listening closely and responding in a way that helps people feel heard and understood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on understanding and reshaping emotional patterns that affect relationships and self‑connection. Somatic therapy pays attention to bodily sensations and how feelings show up in the body, which can help with trauma, anxiety and stress.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. David will work with each person to identify which ideas and practices fit their needs and goals. He will adapt sessions over time based on what helps the client make progress and feel more settled in daily life.
If you are considering online work, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check‑ins when needed, and remove travel time. They can also support people who prefer to work from a location of their choice and who find it easier to engage without commuting. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists who work this way, can often offer flexible scheduling to suit everyday life.
