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 trauma, and brings a straightforward, friendly manner to early conversations. His priority is to make clients feel welcome and at ease from the first contact.
Daniel helps with relationship and family concerns and supports people dealing with addiction, intimacy-related issues and LGBT matters. He also works with challenges like sleep and eating problems, anger, self-esteem, and career stresses. Complex presentations such as bipolar, chronic illness, and neurodiversity are within his scope of practice as described in his background.
He uses a mix of approaches that include Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Psychodynamic methods among others. In practical terms this means sessions may focus on understanding patterns, setting manageable goals and trying out new ways of coping. He aims to match the method to what each person needs rather than applying one fixed style.
Daniel also lists experience with issues such as adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, caregiver stress and compassionate fatigue. He mentions work with alternative sexual cultures and kink, as well as ageing and cancer-related adjustment. These areas are described as part of the breadth of his practice.
He holds the NCPS credential. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How Daniel’s approaches translate to online work
Daniel draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside Trauma-Focused and psychodynamic ideas. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and helping people find their own answers, which can be useful for exploring values and relationships. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviours and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety, improve mood and change unhelpful routines. Trauma-Focused work helps people process difficult memories and build safer ways to cope when past events affect daily life.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit those aims and adjust the plan as needed. Clients are encouraged to feed back on what helps so sessions can shift toward more practical skills or deeper reflection when appropriate.
The profile does not specify which online formats are used, so please confirm session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when days are tight. It can also accommodate people living abroad since international clients are accepted, but confirm how sessions are arranged and scheduled with the therapist beforehand.
