About Dagmar

Dagmar Ball is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with seven years' experience. She uses a warm, approachable manner and aims to make sessions feel straightforward and human. Dagmar works with adults and young people from age 11 onwards who face a range of difficulties, including depression, anxiety and trauma-related concerns.

She has supported people who have experienced physical trauma or abuse, including domestic violence and childhood harm. Her work also covers relationship and intimacy issues, ADHD and autism, addiction, grief and stress.

Background and approach

Dagmar adapts sessions to each person's situation rather than following a fixed formula. Dagmar’s style is person-centred and compassionate. She listens first, then helps clients notice patterns and try small changes.

She is comfortable challenging unhelpful thoughts when it helps progress, while staying respectful and sensitive. Her approach draws on trauma-focused methods and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, alongside solution-focused techniques. Sessions aim to be practical and paced to what each person can manage.

The counsellor supports people to build coping strategies and clearer ways of relating to themselves and others. Dagmar describes therapy as a collaborative journey. She aims to guide people to understand difficult feelings, reduce distressing patterns, and find calmer ways of managing life’s challenges.

She welcomes conversations about how therapy might fit with someone’s goals and needs.

Ways of working Dagmar names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Approaches that suit online therapy

Dagmar uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process distressing events and reduce their ongoing emotional impact. This approach focuses on understanding how trauma affects thoughts, feelings and behaviour and on gentle ways to work through those memories.

She also practises Client-Centred Therapy, which means sessions are guided by the person's concerns and pace. The counsellor listens empathetically and supports clients to find their own solutions and strengths.

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is another tool she draws on to help reduce the intensity of distressing memories. In practice this means using structured exercises alongside talking work to change how memories are experienced.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dagmar will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, and then recommend ways of working that fit. The plan can change as progress is made, so the client stays involved in decisions.

Online formats give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual connection helps. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a shorter break. Live chat or text messaging can suit ongoing check-ins, shorter reflections or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and day-to-day life.
