About Dan

Dan Entwisle is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with a BACP credential and five years of experience. He welcomes conversations about stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, and other life stresses people bring to therapy. He writes in a straightforward way and aims to make starting therapy feel manageable for worried parents and carers.

Dan works to understand each person's situation before shaping sessions. He prefers a practical, down-to-earth style that focuses on what is happening now and what could help in daily life. He encourages small, achievable steps and pays close attention to how family dynamics, parenting pressures and past experiences affect current wellbeing.

His background includes practice with a range of concerns such as addictions, trauma and abuse, bipolar mood issues, attachment and abandonment worries, and adoption and foster care matters. He draws on several approaches to match the work to each person's needs rather than using one fixed method.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to suit the individual. Dan stresses clear communication and respect, and he adapts techniques to the goals people bring to therapy. He is not available for weekend appointments, so scheduling is during weekdays.

To begin, people follow the site's Start Therapy process and complete a short questionnaire to help with matching. Dan supports the next steps of booking and setting goals once the initial details are shared.

How therapeutic approaches guide online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and times when people feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and tries small experiments to change them. It often helps with anxiety, low mood and coping with practical problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dan treats the choice of method as a collaborative decision made with the client. He will talk through what feels useful, try approaches, and adjust plans according to how things are going and what the client prefers.

If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people continue therapy while they are living away from the therapist's region. The therapist will discuss practical details and scheduling when you complete the initial matching questionnaire and arrange your sessions.
