About Dagmar
Dagmar Ball is a BACP counsellor with seven years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She offers a warm, approachable style and aims to create a space where people can talk honestly about what is troubling them. Dagmar works with adults and young people aged 11 and over across a wide range of issues.
She spends time listening and then tailors sessions to each person's needs. That can mean using person-centred conversations, practical problem-solving, or trauma-focused work such as EMDR when it is helpful.
Background and approach
Sessions are aimed at helping people make small, steady changes that improve day-to-day life. Dagmar has supported people affected by trauma and abuse, and those managing long-term conditions such as chronic pain or cancer-related stress. Other areas she addresses include anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, addiction and self-esteem struggles.
Her manner is respectful and compassionate. She challenges unhelpful thoughts when needed and encourages people to find their own answers. Practical tools and solution-focused techniques are used alongside longer conversational work depending on what a person needs.
Dagmar is comfortable working with issues related to attachment, abandonment, communication difficulties, blended family matters, kink and alternative sex culture, and caregiver stress. She aims to help people gain steadier coping, clearer boundaries and more useful ways of relating to others.

Online support
How Dagmar uses talk, trauma work and practical change online
Dagmar draws on person-centred counselling to build trust and understanding. That approach focuses on listening, reflecting what you say and helping you find your own solutions through supportive conversation.She also uses trauma-focused work including EMDR to address memories or reactions tied to past events. This kind of work aims to reduce the intensity of upsetting memories and to help people feel more able to manage triggers.
Solution-focused techniques are used for clear, goal-oriented change. These methods concentrate on small steps and practical strategies that can bring quicker improvements in day-to-day functioning.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist and client will decide together which methods suit the person's goals, needs and preferences. Sessions can shift between exploring feelings, trauma work and practical planning as things evolve.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to arrange on the move. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing support and people who prefer writing to talking. These options offer flexibility so therapy can work around work, caring duties and other commitments.
