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 works with people on common problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship difficulties. He aims to create a welcoming, friendly and down-to-earth space from the first contact.

He helps people talk through trauma and abuse and supports those navigating identity and intimacy concerns, including LGBT issues. He also addresses practical challenges like sleeping and eating difficulties, addiction, and career stress. Daniel offers help for parenting strain, caregiver stress and longer-term conditions such as chronic illness and ageing-related worries.

His work draws on several practical approaches. Client-Centred Therapy guides sessions around the person’s priorities and experience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify patterns of thinking and behaviour to reduce distress. He also uses Psychodynamic and Solution-Focused ideas to look at history and set clear goals when useful.

Daniel describes his style as warm and down to earth. He aims to make the first meetings feel easy and understandable. He encourages people to talk at their own pace and to set goals together for what they want to change.

To begin, he asks people to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. From there, scheduling follows the therapist’s availability and the subscription-based session model.

How Daniel’s approaches can work online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions and focuses on what matters most to them. This approach helps with emotional concerns like anxiety, low mood and grief by centring the conversation on the client’s priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It uses practical techniques to notice unhelpful patterns and try small changes, which can help with anxiety, sleeping problems and mood difficulties.

Psychodynamic work pays attention to past patterns and relationships that shape current feelings and reactions. It can be helpful for longstanding relationship issues, attachment concerns and deeper emotional patterns.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, and together they will choose methods that feel right. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as needs evolve.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time. It can also make sessions more accessible for people managing chronic illness, caregiving responsibilities or living some distance from services.
