About Dagmar

Dagmar Ball is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years' experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship concerns, and with those managing ADHD or grief. Her practice includes work related to abuse and domestic violence as well as a wide range of life stresses.

She has supported people after physical or sexual abuse, financial abuse and childhood trauma. She also helps those coping with chronic illness, cancer, caregiver strain and bereavement. Dagmar works with clients concerned about intimacy, attachment, abandonment and communication problems.

Her approach draws on person-centred ideas while also using EMDR and trauma-focused methods where appropriate. She uses solution-focused techniques to help clients identify manageable steps and practical changes. Sessions focus on clear goals and gradual progress rather than abstract theory.

Dagmar aims to be direct and respectful in session. She listens and challenges unhelpful patterns when needed. Work may include talking through painful memories, practising different responses in relationship situations, or building small routines to reduce stress.

Please note that session options should be confirmed before booking. Dagmar works in English and accepts international clients. To start, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session so you can discuss what would help most.

How Dagmar uses therapy approaches online

Dagmar draws on client-centred ideas that focus on the person's experience and what they want to change, helping people feel understood and heard while setting clear goals. EMDR is used to address distressing memories and trauma symptoms through guided processing and bilateral stimulation, which can help lessen the intensity of painful memories. Solution-focused work concentrates on small, practical steps and the strengths a person already has to move forward.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dagmar will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their situation, goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as priorities shift and progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy around work or family commitments, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Other practical benefits include being able to continue work from a distance and choosing quieter surroundings for a focused session. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt approaches to online settings so therapy remains practical and goal-focused.
