About David Cuff
David Cuff is a humanistic psychotherapeutic counsellor who works from a belief in people’s capacity to grow and move toward positive change. He frames therapy as a shared journey in which he accompanies individuals for a time, helping them make sense of past events and navigate present challenges while honouring each person’s unique path.
His practice is person-centred, LGBTQI+ affirmative, non-discriminatory and experiential. He regards neurodiversity as a difference rather than a disorder and takes a non-judgemental, relational, holistic stance that attends to both internal experience and external life circumstances. He also emphasises the role of the body in holding experience and draws on embodied approaches to help clients access resources they may already possess.
Sessions are guided by the client’s lead, with a gentle curiosity about felt senses and what emerges in the moment. He recognises how feelings of aloneness and unresolved past experiences - particularly adverse childhood events - can shape current patterns, and he supports people in drawing on their internal strengths to live more fully in the present and to find resolution for unfinished business.
David holds a postgraduate professional qualification in Humanistic Psychotherapeutic Counselling from the University of Brighton. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and practices within their ethical framework. He also holds certifications in online and telephony-based counselling (awarded through Open University/BACP and The Online Therapy Institute), has completed training in Working At Relational Depth (CARA), and holds a Child Protection in Education certificate from Educare.
His clinical approach integrates client-centred principles with Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), existential and Jungian perspectives, and somatic methods, offering a flexible, relational way of working tailored to each person’s experience.
