About Dagmar

Dagmar Salamonova-Clark works with issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting concerns, addiction, eating difficulties, trauma and stress. She uses a mix of approaches and works collaboratively with people to identify practical steps and clearer ways of managing day-to-day problems. Dagmar is a BACP member and has 14 years' experience in the field.

She combines several therapeutic methods depending on what a person needs. Sessions may draw on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused ideas, and a client-centred stance. That mix is used to look at thoughts, feelings and patterns that get in the way, and to try different ways of coping and relating.

Dagmar has worked in several settings over her career, including higher education counselling, employee assistance programmes and private practice. This range contributes to practical, experience-based help for common life stresses and longer-standing difficulties alike.

In sessions she focuses on clear conversation and practical tools as well as exploring underlying relationship patterns. She also pays attention to the physical and lifestyle factors that affect mood and coping. The aim is to help people notice what keeps a problem going and try small, workable changes.

She offers counselling in English, Czech and Slovak, and she accepts international clients. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To start, clients use the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches used in online work

Dagmar commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her clinical work. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take committed steps towards those values while learning different ways to relate to difficult emotions.

She also makes use of Attachment-Based approaches which look at relationship patterns and how early connections affect current relationships. This can be helpful for intimacy-related issues, repeated relationship difficulties and trauma-related patterns. Choosing which approach to use is collaborative; the therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the persons situation.

Practical benefits of remote sessions include being able to fit counselling into a busy week and reducing travel time. The biography does not state specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking to know whether telephone, video or other formats are available. Many people find remote sessions useful for short check-ins, flexible scheduling or when they need to fit counselling around work or family commitments.
