About Dana
Dana Hartshorn is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She brings four years of practice to people coping with stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship concerns. Dana works to build a respectful, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about identity, gender, eating concerns and motivation. She also supports people who have experienced historical trauma and attachment difficulties.
Her background is integrative. Dana blends client-centred therapy with attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques. She adapts each session to what the person needs and helps them set clear goals together. Sessions focus on practical steps and on understanding patterns that get in the way of feeling better.
Dana values empathy and compassion in the room. She often brings eco-therapy ideas into sessions to link personal wellbeing with the wider environment. This can help people who want fresh ways to reflect on mood and motivation.
People who choose Dana tend to want straightforward, collaborative work. She aims to help clients find direction and build greater self-understanding. Asking for help is framed as a brave first step, and she supports people as they move toward more authentic living.

How Dana's approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from early relationships and how they influence current connections and emotional responses; it can help with intimacy issues and attachment concerns. Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the process, offering empathy and non-judgement so clients can find their own direction.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy journey. Dana will work together with each person to decide which methods fit best for their needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change as therapy progresses, and sessions can mix elements from different approaches to meet what matters most to the client.
Practical benefits of online working include fitting therapy into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to keep regular appointments around work or family commitments. The site asks new clients to confirm current session options before booking so people know which formats are available at the time.
