Daniel Childs , NCPS

Daniel Childs is a UK-based psychotherapist with 12 years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, bereavement, family conflict, LGBTQIA+ concerns, trauma and abuse. He is fully accredited and holds NCPS, a recognised professional accreditation in psychotherapy. In addition to his clinical work, he is a qualified clinical supervisor, able to offer guidance and support to other psychotherapists.

Daniel places a high priority on creating a welcoming, friendly and down-to-earth atmosphere from the first meeting, believing that comfort with the therapist is essential to effective work. His approach emphasises respect, warmth and practical collaboration so that people feel heard and understood as they explore difficult feelings and life changes.

Choosing to seek help is an important first step, and Daniel recognises that reaching out takes courage. He welcomes enquiries and aims to respond with clarity about how he can help, what to expect in sessions and how to proceed when someone is ready to begin therapeutic work with him.

Therapeutic approaches and remote care tailored to you

Daniel uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive, non-judgemental space where the client’s perspective guides the work - this approach focuses on empathy and understanding to help people explore feelings and build self-awareness. He also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and gently challenge unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours, offering practical strategies for managing anxiety, low mood and stress. When past experiences shape present difficulties, Trauma-Focused Therapy can be used to address the impact of traumatic events in a careful, paced way so people can reduce their symptoms and regain a sense of control.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Daniel works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. He encourages open conversation about what feels most helpful and adjusts the plan as work progresses, drawing on different models as required.

Online therapy with Daniel can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people balancing work, family and other commitments. These options make it easier to access regular sessions from home or elsewhere, support continuity of care when circumstances change, and allow therapists and licensed professionals to focus on practical, goal-oriented work that fits each client’s life.
