About Daniel
Daniel Childs is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 12 years of practice. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, bereavement and relationship strain. Daniel aims to create a warm, down-to-earth space so people feel welcome from the first contact.
He uses conversational, person-centred ways of working that keep the person’s own goals at the centre. Practical tools from cognitive behavioural approaches are offered when useful to manage thoughts, mood and day-to-day routines.
Background and approach
He also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat across relationships and life stages. Daniel has experience supporting people through trauma, abuse and addiction-related concerns, and he helps those navigating parenting, caregiving and major life changes. He also listens to people from LGBTQ communities about identity and intimacy concerns.
His practice includes work around sleep, eating and self-esteem difficulties. Sessions are intended to be straight-talking and collaborative. Daniel offers ways to break problems into manageable steps, and he adjusts pace to each person’s comfort.
He aims to be friendly and approachable while keeping sessions focused on practical progress. If someone needs help taking the next step, he suggests a short matching process to connect with a suitable format. Daniel encourages people to recognise the step they have already taken by reading this profile and to get in touch when ready.

Online support
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Daniel will discuss goals and preferences and work with the person to choose methods that fit their situation. He adapts the pace and techniques based on progress and what the client finds most helpful.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into daily life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when it helps, phone sessions can be a simpler option with lower bandwidth, and live chat or messaging works well for brief check-ins or for people who prefer writing. These options aim to make it straightforward to keep up with regular sessions and to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
