Dan Entwisle, BACP

Dan Entwisle is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. He introduces himself in a warm, direct way and focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family strain, grief, depression, addictions and trauma. Dan uses a straightforward style that aims to make the first steps feel manageable for a worried parent or carer.

He works with individuals on practical difficulties around parenting, attachment and communication. He also supports people navigating adoption and foster care issues, abandonment, blended family dynamics and caring responsibilities. Dan brings attention to both emotional and everyday pressures so people can start to feel steadier.

Dan’s approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and client-centred methods alongside mindfulness practice and motivational interviewing. He adapts techniques to each person’s needs and preferences rather than pushing one fixed method. Sessions aim to clarify what matters most and build small, usable steps forward.

He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Prospective clients choose the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule according to his availability.

Dan asks that clients note he is not available for appointments on weekends. He writes simply: taking the first step takes courage, and he hopes to work with people who want practical support and calm, steady conversation.

How Dan’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, stress and grief when someone wants clearer direction rather than just symptom relief.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It can be helpful for anxiety, depression and addictive behaviours by teaching small experiments and new coping skills.

Client-Centred Therapy creates space to be listened to without judgement and helps people find their own solutions. This approach supports those who need a calm, steady place to talk things through.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and try different methods to see what fits each person’s goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as needs shift.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm which formats are offered before booking. The emphasis is on making therapy practical and workable within everyday life rather than on a single technique.
