About Dana
Dana Wester is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing depression, anxiety and stress. She also helps with relationship worries, grief, parenting challenges and identity concerns. Her style is warm and non-judgemental, with an emphasis on making clients feel heard and accepted.
Dana uses an integrative approach, which means she draws on several ways of working to meet each person’s needs. She often blends person-centred listening with practical tools to manage anxiety and low mood.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and creative methods such as art or play may be used where they suit the client. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual. Dana aims to create a calm space to talk through painful experiences like trauma or loss.
She encourages small, manageable steps so people can try out different ways of coping between sessions. Over eight years Dana has worked with adults, children and adolescents, and with parents. That range helps her adapt language and techniques to each person’s stage of life.
Her BACP credential is shown as a marker of professional registration in the UK. People seeking help can expect a collaborative process that balances listening with concrete strategies. Dana places the client at the centre of the work and accepts each person without judgement.
She invites those ready to make a change to take the next step towards feeling better.

Online support
Cognitive behavioural tools are practical ways to spot unhelpful thinking and try different habits. In a remote session these tools are taught and practised together, with homework tasks to use between meetings. They often suit people coping with anxiety, low mood or stress.
Creative methods such as art or play can also be adapted for video or messaging. These techniques help express things that are hard to say in words and can be useful for trauma, grief or when emotions feel overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and will try different methods as needed. That collaboration helps shape a tailored plan that fits each person’s situation.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel while keeping the focus on progress.
