About Dagmar

Dagmar Spencer helps people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self esteem, depression and coping with life changes. She works in a person-centred way and uses practical methods such as cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused planning. Dagmar is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of professional experience in the UK.

She creates a straightforward space for talking through difficult thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on the issues the person brings and on small, manageable changes that can make daily life easier. Practical tools and simple experiments are used alongside reflective conversation.

Dagmar draws on Client-Centred Therapy to listen closely and to help people clarify what matters to them. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at patterns of thought and behaviour, and Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals and track progress.

Her practice includes work with people who face the long-term effects of trauma, those living with social anxiety, and people struggling with low self-esteem or depression. There is also experience supporting adults with autism and Asperger Syndrome, codependency, guilt and shame, and survivors of sexual assault and abuse.

Sessions aim to be practical and easy to follow. Dagmar encourages small steps and regular review so people can see whether a method is helping. To begin, users follow the service sign-up and schedule a first appointment through the matching process.

How Dagmar's approaches work in online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and on helping the person clarify what matters to them; it is useful when someone needs time to make sense of feelings and priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and is often used for anxiety, low mood and unhelpful thinking patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dagmar will discuss goals and preferences and agree an approach together, adjusting methods if something is not helpful. The process is collaborative and practical, with regular review of progress and short-term aims.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work or study, reduce travel time, and allow focused check-ins without needing to travel. Some formats use less bandwidth or omit video, which can suit short reviews or brief check-ins, while others allow a fuller conversational session depending on the chosen option.
