About Daniel
Daniel Childs is an NCPS counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 12 years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and relationship problems, and lists a wide range of other concerns including addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, ADHD and career questions.
Daniel offers straightforward, down-to-earth sessions. He aims to help people feel comfortable enough to talk about what is worrying them. He describes being welcoming and friendly when people first meet him.
In practice he draws on several ways of working. That can include client-centred conversations that focus on what the person brings to the room. He also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to look at patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going.
For people carrying painful memories, trauma-focused work is part of his toolkit. He also uses psychodynamic ideas to consider how past relationships and early experiences can shape current difficulties. Solution-focused techniques are used when someone wants short-term, practical steps to move forward.
Daniel has experience supporting people with LGBT issues, intimacy-related concerns and complicated family relationships. He also notes work with grief, addiction and long-term conditions such as chronic illness and caregiving stress. He accepts international clients and runs supervision for other practitioners.
To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Daniel uses a subscription model for sessions, and the subscription can be cancelled at any time.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the person says to build trust and clarity. Online sessions using this approach prioritise open conversation and the person’s own goals, which can help with relationship concerns, self-esteem and general stress.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. In remote sessions CBT can include short exercises and homework to test new thinking patterns, useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes.
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing and reducing the impact of traumatic memories. When used online it can involve careful pacing and grounding techniques to help people manage strong emotions during sessions.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that match the client’s needs and goals. People often adjust the plan after a few sessions as they learn what works best.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the exact online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around study, work or travel and can allow shorter check-ins or sessions without video when that suits someone’s routine. Registered or accredited professionals can offer flexible arrangements to help therapy fit into everyday life.
