Dan Entwisle, BACP

Dan Entwisle is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. He offers calm, practical support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain and other difficult life events.

He listens with patience and treats people with respect and compassion. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and on small, useful steps that fit into everyday life. Dan adapts his approach to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

Dan draws on several approaches to help people make change. He uses acceptance and commitment therapy to help clients live by their values, and cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and habits. Client-centred work keeps the focus on the person’s perspective and pace.

People come for many reasons, including stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, addiction, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, bipolar mood challenges and issues linked to identity such as LGBT matters. He also supports people coping with grief, abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, and the practical strains of caregiving and ageing.

Sessions are available by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, and Dan accepts clients from outside the United Kingdom. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary with location and therapist availability. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

How these approaches work in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take steps towards those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is useful for stress, anxiety and patterns that limit daily life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and testing new, more helpful ways of responding. This approach often helps with anxiety, depression and coping with change. Client-centred therapy gives the person time and space to be heard and to lead the pace of work; it supports self-understanding and personal growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Dan works collaboratively to choose and adapt methods based on each person’s needs, goals and preferences. He checks in as therapy progresses and alters the plan when something is not helping.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is important. Phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, need ongoing prompts between sessions, or who want a quieter way to reach out. These options make it easier to fit counselling into daily life while keeping the focus on meaningful change.
