About Dagmar
Dagmar Ball is a counsellor with seven years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Dagmar offers a warm, approachable style and aims to make therapy feel practical and manageable for people under stress.
She works in a person-centred way, listening first and tailoring sessions to the individual's needs. That means sessions are shaped around what matters most to the client rather than a fixed agenda.
How Dagmar works
Dagmar also uses trauma-focused methods and eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing where appropriate to address painful memories and distressing experiences. People come to her for a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy difficulties, parenting stresses, addiction, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD and anger.
She also supports those coping with chronic illness, caregiver strain and issues around attachment and abandonment. Her manner is compassionate and direct. She encourages clients to reflect on their patterns and to try practical steps between sessions.
Sessions can be adapted with creative or structured techniques depending on what helps each person make progress. Dagmar welcomes working with international clients in English. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

Online support options
Approaches you might use in online sessions
Dagmar works from a person-centred perspective that focuses on the client's experience and priorities. This approach involves listening closely, reflecting what is said and helping a person find their own answers. It is often helpful for people who want a supportive, non-judgemental space to make sense of their feelings.She also uses Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help process distressing memories. EMDR involves guided attention while recalling upsetting experiences and can reduce the intensity of those memories for some people. Trauma-focused therapy is another method she draws on; this focuses directly on the impact of traumatic events and practical steps to manage their effects in daily life.
Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The counsellor will talk through options, consider goals and preferences, and agree a plan together rather than imposing a single method. People often try one approach and adapt it as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful when visual connection matters, phone calls work well if bandwidth is limited, short check-ins suit text or chat, and messaging can support ongoing reflection between appointments. These formats make it easier to arrange therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
