Daniel Childs

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 trauma, and also supports those dealing with relationship or family strain and issues around identity such as LGBT concerns. Daniel uses a warm, down-to-earth style to help people feel more at ease in the first sessions.

He aims to make the room welcoming and friendly so people can talk honestly about what’s worrying them. Daniel often uses straightforward, practical ways to reduce distress, and listens for patterns that keep problems repeating. He describes therapy as a joint process where small steps can lead to noticeable change.

Daniel’s background includes work with addiction, sleep and eating difficulties, and anger. He also supports people managing long-term conditions, caregiving stress, and major life changes such as bereavement or career shifts. Those facing attachment, abandonment or adoption-related concerns can bring these issues to sessions.

In practice he blends client-centred listening with approaches drawn from cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic thinking. He offers trauma-focused work when past events are getting in the way of daily life. Solution-focused techniques are used to set clear, achievable goals.

Daniel is listed with NCPS, which is provided here as his stated credential. If someone wants to begin, he encourages them to take the first step and get in touch to arrange a meeting and discuss whether his way of working feels like a good fit.

How Daniel blends talking therapies online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and aims to make them feel heard and respected, often helping with low mood, self-esteem and relationship worries. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, examines unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and works on practical skills to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or manage anger.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try different ways of working until something feels useful. That decision is made together, so sessions reflect the client’s needs rather than a fixed plan.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, for example by cutting travel time, offering shorter check-ins during busy weeks, or avoiding the need to be on camera when that feels difficult. Many people find that working with a therapist remotely still allows steady progress while making therapy easier to keep up with in everyday routines.
