Dan Entwisle, BACP

Dan Entwisle is a United Kingdom based counsellor with five years of professional experience, offering focused support for stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflicts, grief, depression, addictions, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and bipolar-related issues. He holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects his commitment to professional standards and ongoing development. Dan combines a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate approach with practical therapeutic methods, tailoring each plan to the individual needs and circumstances of the person he is working with.

He also addresses a wide range of related concerns including abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, attachment and communication difficulties, caregiver stress, body image, blended family issues, and domestic violence. Dan aims to create a supportive environment where people can explore their experiences and develop strategies to manage symptoms, rebuild relationships, and move toward personally meaningful goals. He emphasizes collaboration and personal choice in therapy, adapting techniques to fit each client rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Taking the first step toward therapy often takes courage, and Dan acknowledges that decision with encouragement and respect. He is available for appointments during weekdays and is unavailable for appointments on weekends. Dan also accepts international clients and welcomes enquiries from people seeking practical, empathic support.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Dan uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while identifying and committing to values-based actions; this approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, and persistent stress. He also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours to reduce symptoms and improve coping; CBT often helps with anxiety, low mood, and relationship difficulties. In addition, Dan draws on Client-Centered Therapy, offering a warm, non-judgmental space where the client leads the pace and direction of work while the therapist provides empathy and understanding.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Dan works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align with their goals, needs, and preferences, and he adapts techniques as therapy progresses. This shared process helps ensure the work feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy with Dan is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access support from different locations and to fit sessions into busy or changing lives while maintaining regular contact with a registered professional.
