Dan Entwisle, BACP

Dan Entwisle is a UK-based counsellor with five years' professional experience and a BACP accreditation. He focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low mood and grief. Dan also supports people facing relationship and family difficulties, addictions, LGBT-related concerns and bipolar-related challenges.

He works in a respectful, down-to-earth way. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs. Dan aims to create a calm space where problems can be talked through without judgement.

Dan uses a range of practical approaches to help people make small, useful changes. He draws on cognitive behavioural methods to spot unhelpful thinking, and on mindfulness to build steadier attention. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people identify personal values and take steps that matter to them.

His additional focus areas include issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment difficulties, ageing and geriatric issues, and caregiver stress. He also works with concerns like body image, communication problems, domestic violence and coping after disasters.

Sessions are arranged to suit individual circumstances, and the therapist asks people to use the site process to book and schedule. Dan does not see clients at weekends, so appointments are offered on other days of the week.

How Dan blends practical therapies for online work

Dan commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in his work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts without fighting them and then take small steps that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dan discusses different methods with each person and picks what fits their needs, goals and preferences. He aims to make therapy collaborative so people can try approaches and adjust them as they go.

Check the booking process to confirm which session formats are available before you schedule. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break. They also let people work with a therapist who practises in the United Kingdom while living elsewhere. If you want to know which session types are offered, please confirm options through the site's scheduling steps.
