Dagmar Spencer helps people manage stress, anxiety and low mood. She supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and the challenges of big life changes. Her work also covers issues like codependency, emptiness, guilt and shame, and concerns specific to young adults.

Dagmar uses straightforward, conversational sessions where people can say what is on their mind. She aims to create a non-judgemental space so clients can talk through painful memories and current worries.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on practical steps as well as understanding feelings and patterns. Her approaches include client-centred listening alongside cognitive behavioural techniques for changing unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also draws on existential ideas to help people consider meaning and life direction, and solution-focused work to set clear goals and small achievable changes.

Dagmar has four years of professional experience and is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. People typically begin by describing what brought them to therapy and what they hope to change.

From there she helps agree on practical steps to try between sessions and checks in on progress. Her aim is to make therapy approachable and useful from the first few meetings.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person without judgement. It helps people build self-awareness and confidence by reflecting their thoughts and feelings back in a calm way. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and offers practical techniques to change them, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals and preferences and together decide what methods to try. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls let people speak face to face, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day, and messaging or live chat can suit those who prefer typed conversations or quick check-ins. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, study or family routines and to continue progress when life gets busy.
