About Dagmar
BACP. 14 years' experience. Dagmar Salamonova-Clark is a BACP counsellor who works with problems such as anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship difficulties and trauma. She also addresses eating concerns, grief, ADHD, stress, parenting and career worries. Sessions are offered in English, Czech and Slovak, and she accepts international clients.
Dagmar practices using a mix of approaches. She draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, attachment-based ideas and client-centred work to help people understand patterns and make practical changes. She also uses emotionally focused methods where relationship and intimacy issues are involved. Her style is collaborative and aims to make therapy straightforward and useful.
In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, try out different behaviours and work through difficult emotions. She pays attention to past relationships when they affect current difficulties. Practical steps such as behaviour experiments and problem-solving are used alongside talking about feelings and relationship patterns.
Her background includes postgraduate study in psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural approaches and additional training relevant to ADHD and trauma. Dagmar has worked across university counselling, employee assistance programmes and in other clinical settings over more than a decade. This range informs a pragmatic approach to common mental health and life problems.
People who contact her usually start by clarifying their main goals and what they want to change. The first sessions are used to identify priorities and plan the next steps, with regular reviews of progress and adjustments to the approach as needed.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify personal values and try small changes that match those values; it can help with anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current behaviour and emotions and is often useful when intimacy or trust are problems. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on identifying and changing thought and behaviour patterns that keep problems going and is helpful for anxiety, depression and many stress-related issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, and then try methods that fit the person’s needs. That collaborative process can include checking progress and changing methods if needed.
Confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote sessions useful for keeping continuity when relocating or travelling, while still working with a registered or accredited professional to address their concerns.
