About Dagmar

Dagmar Ball is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with seven years of experience. She works in a warm, approachable way and aims to make sessions feel practical and manageable for people who are anxious or overwhelmed.

She uses a person-centred style that focuses on listening and responding to each person's needs. This approach places the client's perspective at the centre of sessions and supports people to find their own answers with the counsellor's guidance.

Dagmar also draws on Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) methods and solution-focused techniques when these fit a persons goals. That means she may use structured steps to help process distressing memories or look for small, practical changes that move someone forward.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress, trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. She has experience supporting people with ADHD, autism and attachment-related difficulties, as well as those facing health-related long-term challenges such as chronic pain or cancer-related distress.

Sessions are tailored to the individual and adapted where needed. Dagmar aims to combine gentle challenge with practical tools so people can manage difficult feelings and begin to rebuild day-to-day life. She encourages a collaborative pace and helps people take steps they feel ready for.

How client-centred and trauma approaches translate online

Dagmar commonly draws on client-centred work and EMDR-style trauma methods, explaining them in straightforward ways. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person, helping them notice their own strengths and decide on next steps. EMDR aims to reduce the intensity of painful memories through guided processing and can be used when trauma memories are a key concern.

She may also use solution-focused ideas to set small, achievable goals that build momentum between sessions. Choosing the right approach is a joint process - the therapist will discuss options, test what feels helpful and adapt methods to match the person's aims and pace.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work, caregiving or study, and it may allow for shorter check-ins or telephone sessions when that suits a person better. Many people find remote sessions reduce travel time and help maintain continuity of care while they work on practical coping and processing.
