Dagmar Ball trained and practises in the United Kingdom and brings seven years' experience to her counselling work. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and offers a warm, down-to-earth style. Dagmar aims to make therapy approachable and practical for people facing a wide range of challenges.

Her sessions are guided by the person at the centre rather than a rigid protocol. She listens closely and adapts the plan to suit each client's needs.

Background and approach

She may gently challenge unhelpful thinking and work with clients to build new ways of coping. Dagmar has supported people affected by trauma and abuse, including physical and sexual harm and domestic violence, as well as those dealing with grief and loss. She also works with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, addictions, anger and self-esteem concerns.

Practical everyday issues such as communication struggles, commitment worries and parenting strain are also within her remit. She uses a mix of client-centred approaches, trauma-focused work and solution-focused strategies. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, EMDR, is one approach she includes for trauma-related material when appropriate.

Sessions are personalised and may combine different techniques to suit the concern. Dagmar aims to create a respectful, compassionate environment. She encourages clients to discover their own resources while offering steady guidance.

Her approach is collaborative and grounded in real-life solutions.

How Dagmar’s Approaches Work Online

Dagmar uses person-centred, trauma-focused and solution-focused methods in her online practice. Person-centred work focuses on listening and following the client's lead to build understanding and self-awareness; it helps when someone needs a non-judgemental space to talk through their feelings. Trauma-focused therapy targets memories and reactions that follow distressing events and aims to reduce their ongoing impact on daily life. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on identifying small, practical steps and strengths to move toward clearer goals and immediate relief.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Dagmar will discuss options and decide together which methods fit best with the client’s needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative process can adapt over time as progress is made or priorities change.

Online sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues for a fuller conversation. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and work well for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief exchanges, flexible scheduling and people who prefer writing. These options make counselling easier to fit around work, family and day-to-day life while keeping therapy accessible.
