About Daniel
Daniel Childs is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 12 years of professional experience. He works with men and others on stress, anxiety, bereavement and relationship difficulties. Daniel lists Men's wellbeing among his focus areas and aims to create a welcoming, down-to-earth first meeting.
He helps people address trauma and abuse, addiction and compassion fatigue using straightforward, practical conversation. He also supports those coping with parenting pressures, career decisions, sleep and eating concerns, and mood conditions such as depression and bipolar. Daniel includes LGBT and intimacy-related issues among the topics he covers.
Daniel uses approaches that centre the client's experience and preferences. He draws on Client-Centred work to create a respectful space, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at thinking and behaviour patterns, and Trauma-Focused approaches when past events are getting in the way of daily life. Sessions aim to be collaborative rather than prescriptive.
People often come to him when life changes feel overwhelming, or when emotional habits cause repeated problems. He also offers support around attachment, adoption and foster care, and challenges linked to neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome.
Daniel holds the NCPS credential. He describes himself as friendly, down to earth and welcoming at the first meeting. To start, clients are asked to use the site questionnaire and scheduling flow so they can match with him and arrange a first session.
How Daniel’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding the person's experience and building a respectful working relationship. Online sessions using this approach aim to give time for a person to be heard and for the counsellor to reflect that back in clear, simple language.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and uses straightforward techniques to test and change unhelpful patterns. Online CBT can involve setting small, practical tasks between sessions and reviewing progress together.
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on how past events affect daily life and on practical ways to reduce their impact. In remote work this can mean pacing conversations, using grounding strategies and agreeing on step-by-step plans to manage distress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then recommend a combination of methods that fit those needs. That choice is made collaboratively and can change as progress is made.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please check which online or in-person options are available before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed, but it is best to confirm how sessions are offered to match them with daily life.
