About Daniel

Daniel Childs is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 12 years of professional experience. He works with adults on everyday problems such as stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. Daniel aims to be welcoming, friendly and down to earth so people feel comfortable talking from the first session.

He helps people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, and supports those facing addictions, eating and sleeping problems. He also works with people on issues linked to identity and sexuality, including LGBT concerns, and with those managing career change, burnout and compassion fatigue.

Daniel uses a mix of practical and reflective approaches. He draws on client-centred ways of working to follow what matters most to the person in the room. Cognitive behavioural tools are used to spot unhelpful patterns and try small changes that can make day-to-day life easier.

He also brings psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences affect current feelings and relationships. Solution-focused and trauma-focused methods are available when a short, targeted plan or trauma-informed perspective is helpful.

Daniel holds the NCPS credential and has developed additional experience in clinical supervision. If someone wants to start, they are invited to complete the short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions according to therapist availability. He accepts international clients and offers sessions in English.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and find their own solutions through a supportive relationship. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and change habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss a person's goals, preferences and life situation and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative process means plans can change as progress is made or new priorities emerge.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which online options are available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people meet with a registered professional from different locations, including international arrangements when that is suitable.
