Dan Entwisle, BACP

Dan Entwisle is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and loss, and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar. He also supports those affected by addiction, trauma and abuse, and people from LGBT backgrounds.

Dan focuses on treating each person with respect and sensitivity. He aims to tailor sessions to what the individual needs. He values straightforward conversation and practical steps that fit daily life.

In sessions Dan draws on a mix of approaches including acceptance and commitment ideas, client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques, mindfulness and motivational interviewing. He uses these methods to help people notice what matters, test new behaviours, and manage difficult thoughts and feelings.

Dan has additional experience addressing issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, ageing and caregiver stress, communication and commitment difficulties, body image, and the impact of divorce or domestic violence. He also supports people dealing with blended family challenges and neurodiversity related matters like autism and Asperger syndrome.

He asks people to be realistic about the work and to collaborate on goals. Practical tools, short experiments between sessions, and honest conversation are common parts of his way of working. Weekend appointments are not available, so sessions are scheduled on other days.

How Dan’s approaches translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, grief and midlife crossroads. Client‑centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping the person lead the pace of change, which supports clarity when people are feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses simple experiments to test different responses to worry and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dan will discuss options and decide together what seems most helpful based on goals and preferences. He aims to be collaborative, offering tools and short tasks that can be tried between sessions and reviewed together.

The practical benefit of online working is fitting therapy into a busy life. Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can reduce travel time, allow quicker check‑ins during a lunch break, or suit people who prefer not to be on camera for every meeting. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt their methods to an online setting so the focus stays on what helps the person make steady progress.
