About Dana
Dana Hartshorn is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of practice. She draws on person-centred work alongside attachment-informed and cognitive behavioural ideas to support people through difficult times. Dana aims to make sessions straightforward, respectful and non-judgemental so clients can talk honestly about what matters to them.
She has helped people with stress, anxiety and low mood, and with relationship and family concerns. She also supports those facing identity questions, gender-related issues, eating difficulties and the after-effects of past trauma. People who feel stuck, unmotivated or overwhelmed often find it useful to explore practical steps alongside meaning and values.
Sessions are tailored to each person's needs and goals. Dana works collaboratively to set realistic aims and to track small changes that make life easier. She emphasises empathy and empowerment, helping clients build understanding of how past attachment patterns can shape present relationships.
Dana has an interest in eco-therapy and sometimes explores how the wider environment relates to personal wellbeing. That can mean bringing reflections about nature, routine and space into the work when it suits the client.
Asking for help is framed as a courageous step, and Dana’s approach is steady and down-to-earth. She supports people who want clearer direction, better coping skills and a kinder relationship with themselves.
How Dana’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions in line with those values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect today's connections and helps people understand and change those patterns over time.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dana will talk with each person about what they want to change and which methods feel most helpful. She treats this as a collaborative process and adapts techniques to fit the client's goals and preferences.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact formats available before booking since the biography did not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter or more focused check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to access a therapist while living abroad, as Dana accepts international clients. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often find that online sessions support consistent progress when they are scheduled and approached with clear aims.
