About Dagmar
Dagmar Ball is a counsellor with seven years' experience practising in the United Kingdom. She uses a warm, approachable style and aims to make therapy feel manageable. Dagmar focuses on helping people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, addiction, parenting stresses, grief and trauma-related concerns.
She has supported people affected by physical trauma and abuse, including domestic and childhood experiences. She also works with those facing long-term health or caregiving challenges, and with people living with ADHD or autism traits.
Background and approach
Dagmar draws on a range of approaches to suit each person she meets. Her way of working is person-centred and collaborative. Sessions are tailored to the individual and may include practical techniques, guided discussion and processing of painful memories when helpful.
She says she will gently challenge unhelpful thoughts and help clients notice strengths they already have. Dagmar aims to create an atmosphere of respect and sensitivity. She will adapt her techniques when it makes sense, including using trauma-focused methods for those who have had difficult experiences.
The overall goal is to help people find clearer ways to cope and more calm in their day-to-day life. If someone is ready to begin, she asks them to take the first step and reach out so they can start organising sessions together.

How different therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person and their experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and helps people access their own resources to make changes. This approach can help with low mood, confidence and navigating life changes.Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a trauma-focused method that helps people process distressing memories. It involves guided attention and structured steps to reduce the intensity of troubling memories and ease symptoms linked to past events.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dagmar will talk with each person about their goals, needs and preferences and then agree a plan together. That collaborative process helps decide whether person-centred conversation, EMDR, solution-focused steps or trauma-focused work is most helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video lets people use face-to-face dialogue and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break from work. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, written reflection or when people prefer not to be on camera. These options make therapy easier to fit around family life, work and other commitments.
