About Dan

Dan Entwisle is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family issues, grief, depression, addictions and parenting concerns. He also works with people affected by trauma, LGBT issues and bipolar mood difficulties.

Dan aims to help people talk through immediate problems and make practical changes. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and steps people can use between meetings. He uses straightforward language and encourages practical experiments rather than long explanations.

His background includes several therapeutic approaches that guide how he works in session. Dan draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to look at thoughts and behaviours. He also uses client-centred listening to understand what matters to each person. Mindfulness and acceptance-based approaches feature when people want tools for day-to-day stress and emotion regulation.

People often come with parenting strain, family conflict or relationship breakdown. Dan will help identify small, manageable changes and rehearse different ways of responding. He also offers support for complex histories such as abandonment, adoption and attachment concerns.

Sessions are aimed at adults seeking practical support around household and family pressures. He accepts international clients and works in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange their first session.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches used online and how they help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings and choosing actions that fit personal values. It can help when stress, anxiety or painful memories get in the way of everyday life.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety, improve mood and change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is something the therapist will do together with the client. Dan will talk about goals, try different ways of working, and adjust methods based on what helps most. That collaborative process makes it easier to pick tools that suit a person’s needs and preferences.

Online sessions are useful for fitting therapy around family life and busy schedules. If you need quieter interactions or a shorter check-in that fits a work break, discuss those practical arrangements before booking. Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current session options when you choose a meeting time. Registered or accredited professionals can offer online therapy that supports regular check-ins and practical skill building without the need to travel.
