About Dagmar
BACP. 7 years of experience. Dagmar Ball is a counsellor in the United Kingdom who works with trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, ADHD, stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and parenting concerns, anger, self esteem, bipolar and depression, and coping with life changes.
She describes her approach as person-centred or humanistic. That means sessions focus on the person rather than labels, with an emphasis on listening and responding to what matters to the client. She also uses EMDR and trauma-focused work for clients affected by past traumatic events, and draws on solution-focused tools to help with practical steps forward.
Sessions aim to be practical and conversational. Dagmar says she thinks outside the box and adapts methods to the person in front of her. She works with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, dissociation, domestic violence, chronic pain and illness, and caregiver stress where these are relevant to a client’s presenting concerns.
Her practice name appears with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy credential BACP. She has seven years of practice experience in the UK and offers work in English. International clients are accepted; confirm session logistics directly before booking.
Booking uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the See online counselling options button. Costs vary by location and are linked to the subscription plan.
How Dagmar uses different approaches in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy places the client’s experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens, reflects and follows the client’s priorities to build understanding and practical next steps. It suits people who want a conversational, respectful way to make sense of feelings and decisions.Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a structured approach addressing distress linked to traumatic memories. It involves guided processing of those memories and is used for people whose symptoms relate to past trauma or abuse. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on concrete goals and small steps; it helps clients identify what changes would make a difference and plan actions to reach them.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Dagmar will discuss options and decide collaboratively based on a person’s needs, goals and preferences rather than assuming one method fits everyone. That discussion may include trying different techniques and adjusting them over time.
If you want online sessions, confirm which session formats are offered before booking as formats are not specified here. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, commonly use these advantages to help clients maintain continuity of care without changing the focus of the work.
