About Dana
BACP counsellor and psychotherapist with four years' experience, based in the United Kingdom. Dana Hartshorn works with people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship concerns, and offers approaches including client-centred therapy, attachment-based work and cognitive behavioural techniques.
Dana uses straightforward conversation and practical exercises to help people understand patterns that cause distress. Sessions focus on what a person is living with now and on small, manageable changes. She names attachment, identity and past trauma as important factors she attends to in therapy.
Her way of working draws on client-centred principles that prioritise the person's perspective. Cognitive behavioural tools are used to spot and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current feelings and relationship patterns.
Sessions are shaped alongside the person in a collaborative way. Goals are agreed together and adapted as needs change. Dana also brings interest in eco-therapy and how the wider environment can inform one’s sense of self.
She has supported people with a range of concerns including eating difficulties, gender-related issues, grief, workplace strain and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include body image, commitment and intimacy struggles, personality and attachment issues, self-harm and seasonal affective disorder.
Dana welcomes enquiries from international clients and works in English. Before booking, people are asked to confirm the current session formats available through the service.

How her therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying what matters to you and taking small steps to live by those values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck when life changes make direction unclear.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating. This approach helps people who notice repeated patterns in relationships, or who want to understand emotional responses linked to past experiences.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dana will discuss goals and preferences and try different ways of working to see what fits. The decision about which methods to use is collaborative and can change as sessions progress.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as they are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats may also allow talking without video or using brief phone check-ins for practical reasons. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors and therapists, often find these arrangements help make regular work on issues like anxiety, eating concerns and relationship patterns more manageable.
