About Dagmar
Dagmar Ball is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has seven years of experience and lists work with trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, autism and ADHD among her main areas.
Dagmar works with people aged 11 and over. She has supported those who have experienced physical and sexual abuse, domestic violence, and childhood harm. She also sees people who are coping with grief, relationship difficulties, low mood, stress, and addiction concerns.
Her approach draws on person-centred ideas alongside solution-focused and trauma-focused work. That means sessions often begin by listening to what matters most to the client, and then trying practical steps that address immediate problems. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, is also part of her toolkit for processing traumatic memories.
In sessions she aims to be straightforward and respectful. She challenges unhelpful thinking when needed and works with clients to build new ways of managing feelings and behaviour. Work may include talking, practical exercises, and step-by-step coping strategies.
Dagmar accepts international clients and offers work from the United Kingdom. Clients can expect a clear focus on current problems as well as longer-standing issues. Before booking it is sensible to check the current session options and formats offered.
How her therapy approaches work online
Dagmar uses client-centred work and trauma-focused methods to shape online sessions. Client-centred therapy involves listening closely and helping the client set the pace and focus of each meeting; it is useful for low mood, relationship worries and anxiety. Trauma-focused therapy targets the effects of traumatic experiences by working through distressing memories and learning ways to reduce their impact on daily life. EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, is used to help some people process traumatic memories by pairing focused attention with guided techniques.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dagmar will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods suit the issues, goals and preferences. That collaborative choice can change as therapy progresses and as priorities shift.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so check the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a brief update is needed. They can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need lower bandwidth options. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use these practical benefits to help therapy fit everyday schedules.
