About Daniel
Daniel Childs is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 12 years of professional experience. He uses a warm, down-to-earth manner to help people feel heard from the first session. Daniel places a lot of value on helping clients feel comfortable and understood before moving on to practical work.
He supports people with a wide range of concerns including stress and anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, and LGBT-related issues.
Background and approach
He also works with relationship and family problems, eating and sleeping difficulties, low self-esteem, and challenges such as ADHD and bipolar mood concerns. Additional areas he addresses include caregiving strain, chronic illness, body image and intimacy-related issues. Daniel draws on several therapeutic approaches to match what a person needs.
He uses client-centred techniques to build a trusting space, cognitive behavioural methods for practical coping strategies, and trauma-focused work when past events are keeping someone stuck. He also uses psychodynamic and solution-focused ideas where those fit the goals of therapy. Sessions aim to combine straightforward conversations with clear steps people can try between meetings.
He explains options in simple language and helps people set realistic goals. The aim is to move at a pace that suits each person while working toward better day-to-day coping. Daniel also offers clinical supervision to other psychotherapists.
To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions based on his schedule.

How Daniel’s approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on building rapport and understanding through open, respectful conversation. It helps people who need a steady, non-judgemental space to talk about what matters most to them.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and stress where concrete strategies and short exercises can make a difference.
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on reducing the ongoing impact of past events through careful, paced work that looks at how trauma affects thoughts and feelings. It can be helpful when memories or reactions from earlier experiences are getting in the way of everyday life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and how problems present, and then agree together which methods to try. This is a collaborative process that may change as therapy progresses.
If you are considering online therapy, check the session formats available before booking so they match your needs. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand. Confirm current options with the service and the therapist when you arrange your first meeting.
