Did you find the music box? If you talk to the little girl and get the music box, you can use that to stun him and get a few combos in on him (Two while human, one while transformed). In addition, I recommend running up the stairs when he becomes a werewolf to make him follow you and get some hits while he's still climbing the stairs. After, keep running and going down over the little shed, and repeat the process. As long as you have the upper ground (anakin), you can get a few good hits in. 

He really is an intense first real boss,  and exactly why I tend to recommend Dark Souls for beginners. If you're not outstanding at bloodborne, Father Gascoine is going to put an end to your session every time. 

Even now, after beating the game a dozen times and getting the platinum, I still find him one of the hardest bosses in the game. 

I did find the music box that stuns him. I even cheese the first half of the fight using the gravestones and whip. For whatever reason when I fight him I can't seem to dodge when he jumps way up into the air and lands on me in beast form. He ALWAYS lands on me no matter what I seem to do. From that point on he just has me stun locked for multiple combos where my character is still trying to get up. I don't know if there's a lag in my display that doesn't register my input quick enough or what but I've just been unable to stave off his attacks once he transforms. 

I even went back after mastering a few of the more difficult bosses in Dark Souls 3 through the coop summoning and Gasciogne still wrecks me.

BB is more aggressive when it comes to dealing with combat you were fine in DS because the series is more geared towards defence, the whip is not really ideal for the boss I found the Saw Cleaver to be the best weapon in the game tbh, fight him on the stairs as its easier to read his movement and the are less obstacles as well as it boxing him in a controlled area if you have Molotovs use them as they work well in this fight learning to parry  is a big help in the first phase of the fight.
