Dan Entwisle

Dan Entwisle is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. He holds BACP accreditation and has around five years of professional experience. Dan aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable and humane.

Dan helps people facing stress and anxiety, and those dealing with grief and loss. He also works with people who want support around relationships, family tensions, addictions and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar. He is open to working with LGBT clients and with issues linked to trauma and abuse.

His approach is practical and person-focused. Dan listens first, then tailors a plan that fits the individual rather than offering a one-size-fits-all set of techniques. Sessions are shaped around what the client wants to achieve and what feels workable day to day.

Dan draws on a mix of commonly used tools, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, mindfulness and motivational interviewing, alongside a client-centred stance. He uses these methods to help people notice patterns, try small changes and build new coping options.

People who come to him often want help with specific life difficulties such as body image, attachment and parenting pressures, adoption and foster care concerns, or managing change after separation. He also supports those coping with caregiver stress, communication problems and issues arising from ageing and blended family situations.

To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability. Dan does not take appointments on weekends, so session times are arranged on other days.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and decide what matters most to them. It uses gentle exercises and clearer values to guide small, practical changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people try alternative responses to difficult situations. Mindfulness-based work teaches simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and build steadier coping.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Dan will work collaboratively to find methods that match a client's goals, needs and everyday routine. That means trying options, checking what helps, and adjusting plans together rather than imposing a single method.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and reduce travel time. It also allows shorter check-ins when needed, or options that avoid being on camera if someone prefers. Registered or accredited professionals often use remote sessions to support continuity of care and to make regular appointments more practical for people with work, caring or geographical constraints.
