Therapeutic approaches offered and online support

Daniel Childs commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Trauma-Focused Therapy in his work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the person leads the pace of change and explores their own goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a practical, skills-based approach that helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop strategies to manage symptoms like anxiety, low mood, or addictive behaviours. Trauma-Focused Therapy targets the impact of traumatic experiences, offering structured ways to process distressing memories and reduce their hold on daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Daniel works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and he tailors the methods used so they fit what the individual hopes to achieve. This collaborative stance helps ensure the chosen strategies feel relevant and manageable.

Online therapy with Daniel is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access a registered professional from different locations and allow therapy to continue around work, family, and other commitments, while maintaining the regular contact that supports progress.
