About Daniel

Daniel Childs is an NCPS-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 12 years of professional experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and family tensions, trauma and abuse, and a wide range of other concerns including anger and addiction. Daniel also supports issues tied to identity, intimacy and life transitions.

He describes his approach as down to earth and straightforward. Daniel aims to make people feel welcome and at ease in early sessions. He emphasises building a working rapport so clients can talk openly about what is happening for them.

In practice he uses a mix of approaches. Client-Centred work keeps the focus on the persons experience. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps spot patterns that keep problems going. Psychodynamic ideas look at how past experiences influence current reactions.

Daniel also draws on Solution-Focused tools to set clear, manageable goals and Trauma-Focused methods when past harm affects day-to-day life. He explains methods plainly and works with clients to agree what to try first.

Beyond one-to-one work he is a qualified clinical supervisor and offers professional support to other therapists. He welcomes people from diverse backgrounds and is able to work with English-speaking international clients. Daniel asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before the first session.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the client's own experience and listening carefully to what matters most. Online this can mean using sessions to reflect feelings and priorities, helping people talk through anger, grief or relationship strain in their own words.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises. Online sessions can set straightforward tasks or thought records to work on between meetings, useful for stress, anxiety and anger management.

Psychodynamic work considers how past experiences shape present reactions. In remote sessions this can help people spot recurring patterns and understand where strong emotions come from.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss options and decide collaboratively which methods best match a person's goals and preferences. That discussion guides how sessions are shaped and what is tried first.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as these are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and goal-setting to suit each person's routine.
