About Dan
Counsellor Dan Entwisle is a BACP member working in the United Kingdom with five years of experience. He helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, and supports those coping with grief, depression and addiction issues. Dan also lists work with LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, and bipolar concerns.
Dan uses straightforward talking therapy. Sessions focus on what is troubling a person now and practical steps they can try between meetings. He draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred approaches to guide conversations and build everyday coping skills.
He pays attention to attachment and relationship patterns, and to issues that come from adoption, foster care or abandonment. He also offers support around parenting difficulties, blended family dynamics and communication problems.
Dan includes mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing when these fit a person's goals. That can mean learning simple breathing or attention exercises, testing out new behaviours, or looking at the thoughts that keep problems going. Work is presented in clear, manageable stages and reviewed as it proceeds.
Sessions are conducted in English and Dan accepts people outside the UK. Practical details such as session formats and fees are arranged through the service sign-up process and the subscription system used for booking.
How Dan uses therapy approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that matter to them. It is often used when people feel stuck by anxiety, depression or avoidance. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and tests small changes that can reduce distress. It can be helpful for anxiety, low mood and many everyday problems. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Dan will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit each person. Decisions about techniques and pacing are made together, and methods are reviewed as progress is tracked. The biography does not list specific online session types, so please confirm which formats are available before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also means sessions can take place from different locations, which can help people maintain continuity of care when they move or travel.Areas of expertise
