Daniel Childs, NCPS

Daniel Childs is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom with 12 years of experience. He helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, bereavement and relationship challenges. His approach is warm and down to earth, and he aims to make people feel welcome from the first contact.

He has worked with a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, LGBT issues, addictions, and intimacy-related matters. He also supports people facing practical life changes such as career shifts, parenting strain, chronic health problems and grief. His background includes clinical supervision work with other psychotherapists, which informs his reflective practice.

In sessions he focuses on listening carefully and building trust before suggesting ways forward. He uses methods that encourage people to notice patterns, try small changes and work through past experiences that still cause distress. He tailors the pace to each person and avoids rushing into techniques before there is a strong working relationship.

People who prefer straightforward conversation and practical suggestions tend to find his style helpful. He is comfortable addressing difficult topics like abandonment, body image and attachment issues while keeping the work focused on the client's goals. He welcomes international clients and runs sessions in English.

To begin, people follow the provider’s matching process and complete a short matching questionnaire. Daniel aims to make the first steps clear and manageable for anyone who is unsure what to expect.

How Daniel uses different therapeutic approaches online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience and aims to create an accepting space where people can talk freely. It helps when someone needs to be heard and to make sense of feelings at their own pace.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It is useful for anxiety, stress and mood problems because it teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns.

Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to past relationships and recurring patterns that affect present life. It can help people understand why they react in certain ways and make different choices going forward.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Daniel works collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. He is willing to try practical CBT tools, gentler client-centred conversation, or deeper psychodynamic reflection depending on what fits.

If you are considering online therapy, please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life, save travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. For some people not needing to travel makes it simpler to keep appointments and to maintain continuity between sessions.
