About Dagmar

Dagmar Spencer is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can speak freely and be listened to. Dagmar recognises that reaching out for help takes courage and she meets each person with respect and practical focus.

She draws on client-centred therapy to build an open relationship based on the person's own goals.

Background and approach

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try small, manageable changes. Existential ideas help people explore meaning, values and choices when life feels uncertain. Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-focused.

Dagmar will talk through what you want to achieve and agree simple steps to work on between meetings. The approach is collaborative - you set the pace and the priorities. Her background includes four years of professional experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP.

Dagmar works with a broad range of concerns including core areas such as self-harm, sexual assault and abuse, and young adult issues. Work can also address related topics like codependency, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, forgiveness, and questions about life purpose. Practical coping skills and short-term strategies are offered alongside deeper reflection when that feels helpful.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the relationship in the room and on helping you feel heard. In practice this means the counsellor listens carefully, reflects back what she hears and follows the pace you set. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps you try small, practical changes to reduce distress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Dagmar will discuss options and decide with you which methods feel most useful. This will be based on your goals, preferences and what feels manageable at each stage of therapy.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, quick exercises or times when typing feels simpler. These options aim to make therapy flexible so it can fit around work, study and everyday life while still focusing on meaningful progress.
