Daniel Childs , NCPS

Daniel Childs is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 12 years of professional experience. He holds NCPS as a listed credential and works with a wide range of issues including stress, anxiety, bereavement, trauma and relationship concerns. He aims to create a welcoming, friendly and down-to-earth atmosphere so people can speak openly from the first session.

Daniel focuses on practical, clear conversations. He uses straightforward approaches to help people tackle problems such as low mood, difficulties with intimacy, addictive behaviours and parenting strain. Sessions involve listening, making sense of what is happening now, and trying out small changes that can ease daily life.

His background includes experience supporting people through trauma, grief and family conflict, alongside work with LGBT issues and neurodiversity concerns. He also helps clients dealing with chronic illness, body image and career-related stress. Daniel draws on a mix of therapy methods to match what each person needs.

People who prefer a conversational, person-centred style often find his manner easy to work with. He aims to balance empathy with clear, goal-focused steps so progress can be reviewed over time. Many clients value having a calm space to talk and practical tools to use outside sessions.

If someone wants to begin, Daniel suggests a short matching process then arranging a session at a suitable time. He accepts international clients and offers a variety of online formats to suit different schedules and preferences.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Daniel often combines Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in online work. Client-Centred Therapy involves listening carefully and helping people find their own solutions, which suits those who need a warm, non-directive space. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and trying simple experiments to change reactions, which can help with anxiety, mood and sleep problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. He will work collaboratively to pick methods that match a person's needs, goals and preferences. That might mean starting with conversation-based, person-centred work and adding CBT techniques or trauma-focused steps as required.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation when bandwidth allows. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or be easier when typing or camera use is difficult. Live chat or messaging suits quick check-ins, day-to-day coaching or people who prefer writing. These options help clients fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and travel.
