About Dana
Dana Hartshorn is a counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom. She holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and brings four years of clinical experience. Dana works by blending familiar talking therapies to suit each person.
She focuses on practical steps people can take when life feels heavy or confusing. Dana meets people dealing with stress, anxiety and low mood including depression. She also helps with relationship and family issues, identity and gender concerns, and disordered eating.
Background and approach
Trauma, attachment difficulties and grief are also within her experience. Sessions are calm and non-judgemental. Dana uses empathy and straightforward conversation to help people understand what matters to them.
She tailors each session to the person and helps set clear, manageable goals. Dana is interested in how the wider environment affects wellbeing and sometimes brings ideas from eco-therapy into sessions. That can mean noticing how daily routines, nature or surroundings shape feelings and choices.
Asking for help is framed as a practical step forward. Dana aims to support people to find more direction, build self-understanding and move toward a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling.

Online support
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns with others and with oneself. It helps when attachment issues, intimacy concerns or longstanding relationship patterns are getting in the way.
Dana treats finding the right method as a collaborative process. She will work with each person to identify what feels helpful and adjust the approach as goals evolve. That means trying tools together, checking what works, and focusing on techniques that suit an individual's needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from wherever someone is based. Phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Chat and messaging suit people who prefer typing, need flexible timing, or want ongoing written check-ins between sessions. These options aim to make therapy more accessible and easier to fit around daily life.
