About Daniel
Daniel Childs is a counsellor and member of NCPS with 12 years of professional experience. He works from the United Kingdom and helps people with stress, anxiety, bereavement, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and a wide range of other concerns including relationship and intimacy issues.
Daniel aims to make first contact straightforward and down to earth. He seeks to build a trusting working relationship and to be approachable in early sessions. He describes himself as friendly and practical when meeting people for the first time.
In therapy he uses a mix of approaches. He draws on client-centred work to listen and reflect what matters to the person. He also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to address patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going.
Where relevant he brings in psychodynamic perspectives to look at past experiences and repeated patterns. He can use solution-focused techniques too, to set short-term goals and practical steps between sessions. Trauma-focused methods are available for people who have experienced abuse or traumatic events.
Daniel’s background includes supporting people with grief, addiction, ADHD, eating and sleeping difficulties, compassion fatigue and career concerns. He also lists additional work with adoption and foster care, attachment and some personality-related issues. He accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.
Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Daniel often uses client-centred work to prioritise what the person wants to address. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting and helping the client shape the work at their own pace. It suits people who want to be understood before making practical changes. He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleeping or eating difficulties, and problems where changing patterns of thinking helps reduce distress. When trauma is an issue he applies trauma-focused techniques that aim to reduce the ongoing impact of past events. Finding the right approach is part of the process. Daniel will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a client's needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change as therapy progresses and is reviewed together. The profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work or caring responsibilities, reduce travel time, or offer a simpler check-in when energy or concentration is low. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt sessions to the practical needs of each person while working through the issues named above.Areas of expertise
