About Dan

Dan Entwisle is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and difficulties around relationships and parenting. Dan also works with people dealing with addictions, trauma and abuse, and identity concerns including LGBT issues.

Dan uses straightforward conversations to help people make sense of what they are facing. He listens with respect and aims to tailor each session to the person in front of him. He describes his style as compassionate and practical, and he encourages people to set small, achievable goals.

Work with him can include looking at unhelpful thoughts, building new ways of coping, and practising present-moment awareness. Dan draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness-based ideas to shape sessions. He also uses a client-centred way of working that keeps the person's needs and choices central.

Dan has experience supporting a wide range of concerns beyond core issues, such as attachment and abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, ageing and caregiver stress, body image and communication problems. He can also help with the practical and emotional fallout of separation, domestic violence, or disaster-related stress.

Sessions are arranged around the individual's needs, and Dan asks people to check which session formats he currently provides before booking. He is not available for appointments at weekends. If you are looking for someone calm and direct to talk things through, Dan may be a good fit.

How Dan adapts psychological approaches for online work

Dan commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it focuses on actions that reflect personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour, and supports people to test and change unhelpful habits that add to anxiety or low mood.

Finding the best approach is something to decide together. Dan will discuss what feels most useful, try out methods in session, and adjust plans based on how a person responds. He aims to match techniques to each person's goals and everyday life rather than following a fixed formula.

If you are considering online therapy, please check which session formats Dan currently offers before booking. Confirming formats helps set expectations about timing and practicalities. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let people use quieter surroundings or turn off a camera when that helps them engage. Registered or accredited professionals use different approaches to make remote work effective, and Dan will discuss the format that best supports your aims.
