About Dan

Dan Entwisle works on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief and loss, depression, addictions and LGBT issues using counselling approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. He is a BACP member and has five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients.

Dan uses plain, conversational talk in sessions. He helps people name what is troubling them and then looks at practical steps forward. He draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and on acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and small actions. Motivational interviewing is used when someone wants to change but feels stuck.

Dan aims to work at a steady, manageable pace. He will listen to problems about relationships, parenting and family strain, and practical issues such as coping with bereavement or addiction. He also supports people with long-term mood concerns and those dealing with attachment or adoption-related questions.

His background includes five years in counselling roles in the UK and work across a range of presenting issues, including domestic violence, divorce and separation, and caregiver stress. He combines talk-based methods with mindfulness practice where that feels useful for the person.

How Dan uses therapeutic approaches in online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then focus on small actions that fit their values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and times of loss. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress. It is commonly used for stress, anxiety and depression. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping the person make their own decisions about change; it suits people looking for a space to reflect and clarify what matters.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dan will explore goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before, and then agree a way forward together. This collaborative process means methods can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family commitments, avoid travel time and use shorter check-ins when needed. Some approaches adapt well to remote work, for example CBT homework and brief mindfulness exercises that slot into daily routines. Registered or accredited professionals can also use motivational interviewing techniques effectively in remote sessions to support behaviour change.
