About Daniel
Daniel Childs is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 12 years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, bereavement and relationship difficulties. He aims to create a welcoming, friendly and down-to-earth space for conversations about hard things.
He uses a mix of approaches to meet different needs. That includes client-centred work that follows the client's pace, cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns, and trauma-focused methods for past hurts. He also draws on psychodynamic and solution-focused ideas when they suit the conversation.
Daniel supports people with a wide range of concerns, such as grief, trauma and abuse, LGBT issues, addictions, self-esteem and career worries. Additional areas he notes include adoption and foster care, attachment questions, chronic pain and caregiving stress. He also lists ADHD, bipolar and mood-related difficulties among his focus areas.
He holds NCPS as a credential and mentions having moved into clinical supervision to support other therapists. That background informs a reflective style in sessions. The emphasis is on listening first, then working together on practical steps that feel manageable.
Sessions begin with an open conversation about what matters most. From there he tailors work to the individual's goals, using short-term strategies or deeper work depending on need. The aim is to make progress that fits everyday life.
How his approaches work online and in conversations
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the centre of sessions. It focuses on listening, reflecting what matters most and helping people find their own solutions; this suits those who need time to talk things through.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It offers clear exercises and steps to test unhelpful thoughts and build different habits, which can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and agree on a direction together. Some people prefer short, goal-focused work and others favour slower, exploratory conversations, and plans can change as progress is made.
The original profile does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. In general, online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to work with a therapist from another location, including international arrangements, which may suit people with limited local options.
