What I actually do in face to face lessons is count it as:

1,2,3,4 1,2,3,4 2,2,3,4 2,2,3,4 so as to emphasise the 2 main beats of the bar. Whether that actually helps I don't know, but I'd suggest counting it as 4/4 whle you get used to it.

If I'm not making much sense send me a PM for further clarification :)

You make an abundance of sense and thanks for the clarificaton. I have often wonder how to correctly standardize the 'cut time' count. Thanks lots.
