Daniel Childs is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 12 years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief and a wide range of relationship and life challenges. Daniel aims to create a welcoming, down-to-earth space from the first session.

He uses his NCPS credential as part of his professional identity. Daniel helps people manage trauma, abuse and compassion fatigue through practical conversation and steady support.

Background and approach

He also works with concerns such as addictions, bipolar and depression, sleep and eating problems, and intimacy-related issues. He supports people navigating career changes, parenting strain, adoption and foster care concerns, and body image or identity questions. His approach draws on client-centred principles to make sessions collaborative and focused on what matters to the person sitting in front of him.

He uses cognitive behavioural tools to spot patterns and test different ways of thinking and behaving. When helpful, he brings in psychodynamic perspective to look at long-standing patterns and solution-focused ideas to set clear, achievable goals. Daniel is comfortable talking about sexual diversity, kink and alternative sex culture, attachment and personality-related issues, autism, and caring for someone with chronic illness.

He also supports people dealing with abandonment, blended family issues and caregiver stress. He aims to match practical steps to each person’s situation. People who choose Daniel can expect a warm, straightforward style and help picking small, manageable changes.

He values collaboration and clear goals in each session. He also offers supervision to other therapists as part of his professional work.

How Daniel’s approaches can work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience and priorities, helping them set the agenda and feel heard. It suits people who want a respectful, non-judgemental space to talk through what matters most. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviours and offers practical techniques to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or change unhelpful patterns. It is useful when someone wants concrete tools and short-term goals. Psychodynamic therapy explores patterns that repeat over time and considers how past experiences shape current difficulties, which can help with long-standing relationship or self-esteem issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Daniel will discuss options with each person and together they will decide which methods feel most helpful. He balances people’s goals, preferences and practical needs and adjusts the plan as therapy progresses.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls let people use visual cues and create a more personal connection. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging are useful for ongoing support between sessions or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options increase flexibility and help people keep continuity of care regardless of location.
