About Daniel
Daniel Childs is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 12 years of professional experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, bereavement, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and a wide range of other concerns that affect life at home. Sessions are presented in plain language and aimed at people looking for straightforward support around relationships and parenting pressures.
Daniel keeps his approach practical. He listens first and helps people map out what matters most to them. He draws on a mix of client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques and trauma-focused methods to help people manage strong emotions and recurring problems. Conversations focus on what can change now and what might take more time.
People who come to him often want help with relationship strain, parenting stress, grief or coping after a painful event. He also supports those navigating identity and intimacy issues, addiction concerns, sleeping and eating difficulties, and career stresses. He works with matters such as attachment, blended family dynamics and adoption or foster care questions when these come up.
Sessions are straightforward and down to earth. Daniel aims to be approachable and non-judgemental in his manner. He also offers clinical supervision to psychotherapists, reflecting his wider experience in practice.
If you want to explore how to reduce anxiety, manage anger, or rethink parenting pressures, he helps people draw up small, manageable changes and check progress over time.
How sessions work
How his approaches fit with online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping the person set their own goals. It is useful when someone needs space to talk through relationship or parenting worries and decide what matters most to them.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour. It offers simple strategies to test unhelpful thoughts, reduce anxiety, and improve sleep or daily routines. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on managing strong emotional reactions and processing difficult events at a pace that suits the person.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Daniel works with each person to decide which methods to try first, based on their goals and what feels manageable. He will review progress and adjust the plan as needed so therapy fits changing circumstances.
