About Daniel

Daniel Childs works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and bereavement, and related concerns using a range of talking therapies. He is registered with the NCPS and has 12 years of professional experience. Daniel describes himself as down to earth and aims to make people feel comfortable when they first meet him.

He focuses on practical conversation in the room. Sessions are grounded in Client-Centred ideas that prioritise what the person brings, alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy methods that look at how thoughts and behaviours interact. He also draws on Psychodynamic and Solution-Focused approaches as useful tools depending on the presenting concern.

Daniel has helped people with addictions, LGBT matters, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strain and anger. He also works with depression, bipolar features, ADHD and career-related stress. His additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, attachment issues, autism and neurodiversity, chronic illness, and body image concerns.

He also offers support around grief, compassion fatigue and caregiver stress, and will address relationship themes such as commitment and blended family strain. Sessions can include trauma-focused techniques when needed, for example after abuse or other distressing life events.

Daniel is based in the United Kingdom and works in English. He accepts international clients. To start, people use the site matching process and then arrange a first session.

How his approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor and on their priorities; online sessions using this approach centre on what the client brings and on respectful listening. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and can include practical exercises and homework to try between sessions. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on safely addressing distressing experiences and on building coping skills for symptoms that can follow trauma.

Finding which approach fits is part of the early work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before, and will collaborate on a plan that can mix approaches as needed. That shared decision-making helps keep sessions relevant and manageable.

The site biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. People often find online counselling helps them fit sessions around work and family life, makes it easier to attend when travel would be difficult, and allows shorter check-ins or phone-style appointments when a full video session is harder to schedule. Registered or accredited professionals generally adapt techniques like CBT worksheets, short behavioural experiments and trauma-informed pacing to work in virtual settings.
