About Daniel

Daniel Childs is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 12 years of professional experience. He focuses on creating a welcoming and down-to-earth space so people feel able to speak openly about what matters to them. Daniel places comfort and connection at the start of every meeting.

He helps people deal with stress and anxiety, bereavement and grief, trauma and abuse, and issues connected to relationships and family life.

Background and approach

Parenting concerns are explicitly listed among his areas of work, so he often supports parents who are feeling overwhelmed or unsure about next steps. He also works with matters such as addiction, sleep and eating difficulties, anger and low self-esteem. Daniel uses well-known therapeutic approaches to shape conversations and practical steps.

Sessions can include exploring thought patterns, looking at past relationship dynamics, and setting simple, achievable goals between meetings. He aims to keep language plain and to offer ideas that people can try out in day-to-day life. He is able to work with issues related to neurodiversity, attachment, adoption and foster care, and concerns that intersect with sexuality and kink culture.

Career change, chronic health challenges and caregiving stress are also within his remit. Daniel is listed with NCPS and offers sessions in English. He also works with international clients.

His approach is collaborative and practical, and he encourages people to take small steps that feel manageable.

Online support

Approaches that suit online therapy and parenting conversations

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on a respectful, non-judgemental relationship where the person's own goals guide the work; it helps when someone needs a listening space and gentle guidance. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical techniques to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or change unhelpful patterns. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and processing past harm in ways that reduce its impact on daily life and relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Daniel treats it as a collaborative task. He will talk through options, check what feels comfortable, and adapt methods to match the person's needs and goals as they emerge over sessions.

Online formats offer practical flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when nuance and eye contact matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on days when being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text messaging suit short check-ins, midweek coaching, or people who prefer writing to speaking. These choices make it easier to fit therapy around parenting, work and other commitments while keeping the focus on steady progress.
