Daniel Childs, NCPS

Daniel Childs is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 12 years of professional experience. He holds the NCPS credential and aims to make the first contact straightforward and welcoming. He presents as friendly and down to earth so people can feel at ease when they first reach out.

Daniel works with many common concerns. These include stress, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma. He also supports people facing relationship and family strains, parenting pressures, intimacy and LGBT matters, addiction and issues around eating or sleeping.

He uses a range of therapeutic approaches depending on what the person needs. These include client-centred ways of working, cognitive behavioural techniques, psychodynamic ideas, solution-focused steps and trauma-informed methods. Daniel adapts his style to the situation and the individual’s goals.

Sessions are practical and conversational. He listens carefully, helps people make sense of what is happening, and suggests small changes to try between meetings. He can also work with complex presentations such as bipolar disorder, chronic health challenges, attachment and neurodiversity issues.

Daniel accepts enquiries from people outside the UK and runs clinical supervision for other therapists. To start, a person completes the site’s matching questionnaire and then arranges sessions according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches suitable for online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience and priorities. The counsellor offers empathic listening and helps people find their own solutions; this approach suits those wanting a collaborative and respectful space to think things through.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at connections between thoughts, feelings and actions. It often involves setting clear goals, trying behavioural experiments and learning practical coping techniques for anxiety, low mood and stress.

Psychodynamic ideas pay attention to patterns that repeat over time and in relationships. These conversations can help people make sense of long-standing difficulties and how past events shape current reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences and recommend which methods to try first. That recommendation can change as work progresses to reflect what helps most.

Please confirm which online session formats are currently offered before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into everyday life by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins and offering options that suit quieter surroundings or limited bandwidth. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor sessions to help clients meet their goals while fitting therapy into a busy routine.
