About Daniel
Daniel Childs is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 12 years of professional experience. He holds the NCPS credential and has worked across many common concerns people bring to therapy. Daniel aims to make first contact welcoming and straightforward, and he focuses on creating a down-to-earth space where people can begin to talk through what matters to them.
He helps people who are dealing with stress and anxiety, bereavement and grief, trauma and abuse, and challenges related to identity and intimacy. He also supports those struggling with addictions, sleeping or eating difficulties, relationship and family tensions, and career or self-esteem concerns. Other areas he addresses include ADHD, bipolar and depression, and compassion fatigue.
Daniel uses a mix of approaches that suit each person. He works from client-centred principles to listen and respond to what someone needs. He may draw on cognitive behavioural techniques to tackle unhelpful thoughts and on trauma-focused methods when past events are getting in the way of daily life.
People who value a friendly, straightforward style often find his way of working easy to engage with. He aims to help people set practical goals and to notice small changes that build over time. He also offers clinical supervision to other psychotherapists.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of the work. The counsellor listens carefully, reflects what is said and follows the pace the client sets. This approach helps when someone needs acceptance, a calm space to sort their thoughts, or to build confidence in making changes.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going, then testing small, practical changes. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, stress and many everyday challenges where changing a thought or routine helps.
Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at how past events continue to affect feelings and behaviour, and it uses methods suited to reduce distress linked to those memories. It is often brought into work when trauma or abuse is a central concern.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before, and will work together with the client to choose techniques that fit their situation and pace.
If you are considering online work, check the booking details to confirm which session formats are offered before you book. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, reduce travel time, allow quicker follow-ups between sessions, and offer options such as shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, often use online work to make therapy more practical for busy lives.
