About Dan
Dan Entwisle is a counsellor registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and has five years of professional experience in the UK. He works with stress and anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, grief, depression, addictions, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting questions and bipolar-related issues. Dan aims to make the first steps into therapy straightforward and practical.
Dan uses a mix of talking-based methods to help people find clearer ways to manage day-to-day pressures. Sessions tend to focus on understanding what matters most to the person and on simple, repeatable strategies to reduce overwhelm. He listens, reflects, and offers approaches drawn from established therapies rather than relying on jargon.
People contact him about small but persistent problems as well as major life changes. He helps with issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, attachment concerns, autism and Asperger Syndrome related stress, blended family challenges, body image, caregiver strain, commitment worries, communication breakdowns, control struggles, and recovery after domestic violence or natural disasters.
Dan blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), client-centred work, mindfulness and motivational interviewing in session. That mix is used to explore thoughts and feelings, to try out different ways of responding, and to build practical routines that fit everyday life.
He notes that sessions are not scheduled on weekends. To begin a programme with him clients follow the site's booking path to match and schedule an initial appointment.
How Dan uses CBT, ACT and client-centred work online
Dan often draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help identify unhelpful thought patterns and to try small behavioural experiments that can reduce anxiety or low mood. CBT sessions tend to focus on practical steps and short exercises you can use between meetings.He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and to practise responding differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. ACT can be useful for stress, relationship doubts and for feeling stuck after big changes.
Client-centred work underpins his approach by keeping the conversation focused on the person in front of him. That means listening closely, reflecting what comes up, and adapting the pace so the person can set the agenda.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Dan will work collaboratively to decide what methods suit the issues, goals and preferences brought into sessions. That might mean trying one approach for a few meetings and then adjusting it if needed.
