About Dagmar

Dagmar Spencer is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and major life changes. She speaks plainly and aims to make the first step feel practical and manageable for someone worried about reaching out. Dagmar uses a warm, client-centred way of working.

Sessions focus on listening, reflecting and helping people name what matters. She encourages small, achievable steps so progress feels realistic rather than overwhelming.

Background and approach

She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try different ways of responding. Solution-focused ideas are used when people want short-term tools to handle a current problem quickly. Dagmar has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

That background informs her everyday practice and how she plans sessions. People often come to her worried about feeling empty, struggling with codependency, or dealing with guilt and shame. She also works with issues such as sexual assault and abuse, self-harm, autism and Asperger syndrome, and challenges common to young adults.

Sessions are offered in English and arranged to suit each person. Dagmar aims to keep therapy straightforward so people can focus on next steps rather than jargon.

How Dagmar’s approaches work online

Dagmar blends client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural techniques to help people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression or life changes. Client-Centred Therapy offers a non-directive space where the person’s concerns guide the session and the counsellor reflects and clarifies what matters most. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at specific thoughts and behaviours, helping people try different strategies to reduce anxiety or low mood.

She also uses solution-focused ideas to build short-term plans and identify small actions that can make a quick difference. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Dagmar will discuss goals, try different methods and agree what feels helpful for each person as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling more flexible. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit people with limited bandwidth, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, study or family life while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
