About Daniel
Daniel Childs is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 12 years of professional experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain and trauma. Daniel also supports those facing addiction, issues around sexuality and intimacy, and challenges such as sleep or eating concerns.
He works in a down-to-earth, welcoming way and aims to make people feel comfortable from the first session. Daniel focuses on clear, practical conversations rather than clinical jargon.
Background and approach
He encourages small, manageable steps that fit into everyday life. In sessions he draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy and Client-Centred approaches to help people process difficult experiences and to feel heard. He also uses aspects of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy - CBT - to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviours.
This mix helps with both understanding past issues and finding ways forward. Daniel has supported people with a wide range of concerns, including parenting and family conflict, compassion fatigue, ADHD, bipolar and depression. He also works with people affected by abandonment, adoption and foster care, chronic illness, body image and relationship diversity topics like BDSM and kink.
If someone wants an approachable, practical counsellor who listens and keeps things simple, Daniel aims to offer that. The first meeting usually focuses on what matters most to the person and what they hope to change.

How Daniel’s approaches work online
Daniel often uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process difficult or distressing events. This approach looks at how past experiences affect current feelings and responses and aims to reduce their ongoing impact. He also draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which prioritises listening, empathy and the person’s own goals to build trust and clarity.He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy - CBT - for practical work on thoughts and behaviours. CBT can help when anxiety, low mood or unhelpful habits are getting in the way of daily life. Together these approaches aim to balance understanding difficult histories with straightforward steps people can try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and Daniel works collaboratively to choose methods that suit a person’s goals and preferences. He will talk through options and adapt the way he works as the relationship develops so the approach fits the client rather than the other way round.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat can work for shorter check-ins, and messaging suits people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
