About Dan

Dan Entwisle is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of experience. He works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, grief and loss, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns and bipolar-related difficulties. Dan also lists additional focus areas such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment issues and body image concerns.

Dan keeps sessions straightforward and practical. He uses approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and client-centred work to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding. Mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing are also part of his toolbox when they fit the client's needs.

In a meeting with Dan, clients can expect short, clear conversations about what matters right now. He aims to identify small steps someone can try between sessions and to review what helps and what does not. He does not promise outcomes, but focuses on what can realistically change in day-to-day life.

Dan is experienced in a wide range of concerns connected to family background and relationships, including adoption and foster care, blended family issues and caregiving stress. He also works with people facing trauma, domestic violence history or long-term mood difficulties.

Sessions are conducted in English. He accepts international clients. Before booking, confirm current session formats and scheduling details so they match your needs.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match personal values. It can help when guilt or shame keeps someone replaying past events rather than moving forward. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers practical techniques to test and shift unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, low mood and repetitive guilt cycles.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Dan aims to be collaborative and will help you decide which methods fit your goals and preferences. That may mean trying a few techniques and checking what helps most over time.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins or offering ways to manage interruptions. Registered or accredited professionals often use these benefits to keep therapy practical and focused on small, achievable steps.
