Daniel Childs, NCPS

Daniel Childs is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 12 years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief and trauma, and supports those with relationship and intimacy-related concerns. Daniel also helps clients navigating addictive behaviours, ADHD, mood difficulties and a wide range of life changes.

He aims to create a welcoming and down-to-earth space from the first meeting. Daniel describes being friendly and approachable as his priority, so people can talk openly about what is worrying them. He encourages small steps and practical changes alongside talking things through.

Daniel draws on several approaches in his work. He uses client-centred ways of listening, cognitive behavioural techniques to spot and change unhelpful thoughts, and trauma-focused methods when past events continue to cause distress. He also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring patterns, and solution-focused tools to set realistic goals.

Clients may come for support with grief, relationship strain, sexual and intimacy issues, body image, or parenting concerns. He also works with people facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, and the particular pressures that come with LGBTQIA+ identity.

Approaches used in online therapy and how they help

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own perspective, using careful listening to help people feel understood and to build their confidence in facing problems. It is useful for anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship worries.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, works by identifying thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and testing small changes. It is often helpful for anxiety, low mood, sleep difficulties and patterns that affect daily life.

Trauma-Focused Therapy pays attention to how past events affect current feelings and reactions, and uses methods to reduce distress linked to those memories. This approach can be helpful for people recovering from abuse or traumatic experiences.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Daniel will work collaboratively to match methods to the client's needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as issues change.

Please confirm available session formats before booking, as the original biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or travel, and can reduce time spent getting to appointments. Some people prefer shorter check-ins by phone when they need a quick update, while others choose longer video sessions for deeper conversation. Discussing practical arrangements during booking helps ensure sessions suit everyday life.
