About Dan

Dan Entwisle is a counsellor who works in the United Kingdom. He holds BACP accreditation and has five years of professional experience. He aims to make the first steps into therapy less daunting and meets people with respect and compassion.

Dan helps people who are struggling with stress and anxiety, depression, addictions, grief and loss, and issues around relationships and family. He also supports those facing challenges related to parenting, bipolar mood difficulties, trauma and abuse, and matters connected to LGBT identity. He lists a wide range of additional focus areas, including adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster.

His approach is practical and person-focused. He adapts the work to each person rather than using one fixed method. Sessions are shaped around what matters most to the individual and the problems they bring into the room.

Dan uses a mix of therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness-based work, Client-Centred Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. He draws on elements from these approaches to help people notice patterns, try new responses, and build habits that support their goals.

People who choose Dan can expect straightforward conversations and tailored plans. He asks about what a better day would look like and then helps map small steps toward that. Note that he is not available for appointments at weekends.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values, which can help with anxiety, depression and stress. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on warm, non-judgemental listening and helps people feel understood while they find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change patterns that keep problems going.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that fit the person's needs. This collaborative process means approaches can be blended or adjusted as progress is reviewed.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and fewer journeys to attend appointments. If you are considering remote sessions, confirm the session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it simpler to maintain regular contact and to apply techniques between sessions while managing everyday commitments.
