Daniel Childs , NCPS

Daniel Childs is a UK-based psychotherapist with 12 years of professional experience supporting people through a wide range of emotional and life challenges. He works with issues including stress and anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, bereavement, addiction, and mood conditions such as depression and bipolar. He also supports concerns around identity and intimacy, parenting, sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD, and career or life transitions. He brings particular experience working with LGBT clients and with complexities such as attachment and adoption-related matters, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and body-image and sexual diversity concerns.

Daniel holds the NCPS credential - a recognised accreditation in psychotherapy - and is a qualified clinical supervisor who provides guidance and support to other psychotherapists. His practice draws on client-centered, cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic, solution-focused, and trauma-focused approaches to tailor work to each personâs needs. He aims to create a welcoming, down-to-earth atmosphere where people feel heard and respected from the first conversation.

Daniel emphasizes practical collaboration, helping people set realistic goals and build skills to manage distress and improve relationships. His approach balances empathic listening with evidence-informed techniques so that therapy addresses both immediate concerns and longer-term patterns.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Daniel integrates several established approaches to tailor online therapy to each person. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist reflects and supports a personâs own understanding of their experience - helpful for improving self-esteem, relationship concerns, and navigating life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior; it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep or eating difficulties because it combines skill-building with problem-focused work.

Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the impact of traumatic experiences by helping people process memories and reduce ongoing symptoms, with techniques that can support recovery after abuse, loss, or other distressing events.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Daniel works collaboratively with people to identify which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting the focus over time as progress is made.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility to connect by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family, or mobility needs, and they allow therapists to deliver consistent support even when in-person meetings are difficult.
