About Daniel
NCPS; 12 years' experience. Daniel Childs works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, bereavement, trauma and abuse, relationship and family issues, addiction, LGBT matters, intimacy-related difficulties, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar and depression, and coping with life changes. He offers counselling and clinical supervision and describes himself as welcoming and down to earth.
Daniel uses straightforward conversations to help people clarify what is troubling them and to identify practical next steps. He draws on Client-Centred Therapy to focus on the person's perspective, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at how thoughts and behaviours interact, and Trauma-Focused Therapy when past events continue to cause distress. He also uses psychodynamic ideas to consider long-standing patterns and solution-focused techniques to set achievable short-term goals.
Sessions are described as friendly and down to earth, with an emphasis on helping people feel comfortable enough to talk. Daniel aims to make the room a place for honest discussion and practical problem solving rather than technical language or jargon. He also provides clinical supervision for other psychotherapists.
Daniel works from the United Kingdom and accepts international clients who can work in English. His approach suits people seeking both short-term goal-focused work and longer conversations about persistent patterns. He encourages a collaborative relationship where the person's preferences help shape the work.

Therapeutic approaches and how online counselling fits
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own perspective and uses empathic listening to help them find their own solutions; it suits issues where understanding feelings and choices matters. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress by identifying patterns and testing new ways of thinking and acting. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on the impact of past traumatic events and uses structured methods to reduce how much those memories affect daily life.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before, and then agree a plan together. That collaborative process may combine short-term techniques with longer-term exploration depending on the person's needs.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, study or family commitments and can reduce travel time. Different formats can also suit different practical needs - for example shorter check-ins by phone when time is limited, or video sessions when face-to-face interaction is preferred. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt session length and focus to help therapy fit everyday life.
