About Dagmar

Dagmar Spencer is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She supports those facing life changes and helps with motivation and confidence. Dagmar aims to make the first step feel less daunting for anyone reaching out for help.

Dagmar uses a friendly, open approach in sessions. She listens closely and offers a calm space for people to talk about difficult feelings. Conversations focus on what matters most to the person in front of her rather than on labels or tests.

She draws on practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood. She also uses Client-Centred techniques that let people lead the pace and focus of their work. These methods are used together to match a person’s needs and goals.

Dagmar has four years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as BACP. Her experience includes supporting people after sexual assault and abuse, working with self-harm concerns, and addressing issues such as codependency and feelings of emptiness.

Sessions are offered in English and take place in the United Kingdom. If someone is unsure what to expect, Dagmar guides them through the first steps and helps shape a manageable plan for change.

How Dagmar’s approaches translate to online work

Dagmar often uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening and following the client’s lead so sessions feel personal and relevant. This approach helps people talk through difficult feelings and decide what to try next.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT, which offers straightforward strategies to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small changes in behaviour. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with everyday stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dagmar will talk with each person about their goals, worries and preferences and then try methods that fit. That decision is collaborative and can shift as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling around work or study and being able to join sessions without travelling. If you need clarification about which session formats are available, confirm current options before booking. The emphasis is on making therapy fit everyday life and on finding a way of working that feels manageable and helpful.
