About Dana
Dana has worked with people facing stress and anxiety, depression, self-esteem and identity struggles, suicidal thoughts and self-harm, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, eating difficulties, questions of sexual identity, relationship and parenting challenges. She creates a nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored openly, keeping the client at the centre of the work and accepting each person without conditions.
Recognising that seeking change takes courage, Dana supports clients through the process of change with practical tools and compassionate guidance. Her approach tailors therapeutic methods to the goals and preferences of each individual, with an emphasis on collaboration and real-world coping strategies.
Integrative approaches and flexible online care
Dana commonly uses person-centred work, which focuses on listening, empathy and building a trusting relationship so clients can explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace; this approach supports issues like self-esteem, identity and relationship concerns. She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), a practical method that helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns often seen in anxiety, stress and depression. Mindfulness techniques are integrated to help clients develop present-moment awareness and coping skills for emotional regulation and stress management.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Dana collaborates with each client to assess needs, goals and personal preferences, adapting methods over time so the plan fits the person rather than forcing a single model of therapy. This collaborative stance helps ensure the chosen techniques feel relevant and useful.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, making it easier to schedule support around busy lives and to access therapists from different locations. For many people this variety of formats supports continuity of care and allows sessions to fit into everyday routines while maintaining a consistent therapeutic relationship with a licensed professional.
