About Dan
Dan Entwisle is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He holds BACP registration and brings five years of professional experience to his practice. Dan aims to make the first steps into help feel manageable and respectful for anyone who is unsure where to begin.
Dan focuses on common problems that cause ongoing strain. He helps people with stress and anxiety, depression, grief and loss, addictions, bipolar difficulty, and relationship and family concerns. He also supports issues linked to LGBT matters and trauma and abuse.
His work covers a wider range of life challenges too. Dan offers help for parenting pressures, attachment and abandonment worries, adoption and foster-care matters, ageing and caregiver stress, blended family issues, body image, communication and commitment problems, and recovery from domestic violence or separation.
Dan draws on several counselling methods and adapts them to each person. He uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at thinking and behaviour patterns, and Client-Centred and mindfulness-informed ways of working to build a steady therapeutic relationship.
He aims to treat people with sensitivity and compassion, tailoring sessions to the needs of the individual. Booking requires using the Start Therapy button, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling according to the therapist's availability. Sessions are not offered on weekends.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Motivational Interviewing helps people explore their own reasons for change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to build motivation, which can help with addictions, ambivalence and making life changes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people accept hard thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values; it often helps with anxiety, depression and stress. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a warm, non-judgemental relationship where the counsellor listens closely and follows the person's lead.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, and help find the best mix of methods. That choice is collaborative and may change as progress is made.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life - sessions can be scheduled around work, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits. Some approaches lend themselves to conversational sessions while others use brief exercises or homework between appointments, and Dan will adapt the process to what works best for the person. -
