About Dan
Dan Entwisle is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of practice. He focuses on supporting people through common struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief and addictions.

He prefers a practical, down-to-earth way of working. Sessions aim to be collaborative and straightforward. Dan listens first, then helps people set small, manageable goals to try between meetings.
Background and approach
Dan draws on a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice patterns and try new ways of responding. He also uses client-centred methods and motivational interviewing to build motivation and strengthen self-understanding.
Over time Dan helps people reduce unhelpful thinking, manage intense feelings, and improve communication. He also offers support for specific concerns such as trauma and abuse, bipolar mood challenges, parenting stress, and issues linked to adoption or caregiving. Sessions are offered in English and Dan accepts international clients.
He provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary with location and therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches you can try online
Dan uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. This approach can be useful for anxiety, low mood and parenting stress because it focuses on what matters most rather than fighting every difficult thought.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy aims to identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and replace them with practical alternatives. It is often used for anxiety, depression and stress and includes setting short exercises and experiments between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dan will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and day-to-day life. Together they decide which methods to try and review progress as therapy continues so adjustments can be made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging can work well for short check-ins, ongoing encouragement or when scheduling quick support around a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into family life, work breaks and irregular routines.
