Dagmar Ball , BACP

Dagmar Ball is a counsellor with seven years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She uses a person-centred approach and aims to create a warm, approachable space where people can begin to talk about difficult issues. Dagmar meets people who come with a wide range of concerns and supports them as they look for practical ways forward.

She commonly works with people facing trauma and abuse, grief, anxiety, depression and stress. She also helps with intimacy-related concerns, ADHD, addictions, self-esteem and anger. Her additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, and the needs of people affected by chronic illness or cancer.

Dagmar adapts sessions to each person. She listens first and then suggests ways to work that fit the individual's pace and preferences. Techniques may include client-centred conversation, trauma-focused methods and eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing where appropriate.

Her style is direct but compassionate; she challenges unhelpful thinking while offering practical steps. People can expect encouragement to try new coping strategies and to notice progress between sessions.

Diverse session formats are available, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted. Dagmar is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP.

To begin, a short questionnaire and scheduling step matches someone with the right appointment. The subscription model used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches work online

Dagmar uses a person-centred approach that focuses on the individual's experience. This means sessions start by listening closely and following the person's lead to identify priorities and goals. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, often called EMDR, is a trauma-focused method she may offer for people processing distressing memories; it involves guided attention techniques to help reduce the intensity of those memories. Solution-focused work concentrates on practical steps and small changes that move someone toward their goals rather than only discussing the problem.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Dagmar will discuss options and try methods that match a person's needs, goals and comfort level. She adapts pacing and techniques as the relationship develops so the therapy feels collaborative and grounded in real concerns.

Online formats make it straightforward to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters, phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who find writing easier. These options also help when travel or scheduling would otherwise be a barrier, and they let the therapist use the same clinical approaches across different formats.
