About Dagmar
Dagmar Spencer is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes, and she lists young adult issues among her focuses. Sessions are offered in English and take place in the United Kingdom.
Dagmar uses straightforward conversation to help people make sense of what they are feeling. She listens without judgement and encourages practical steps alongside reflective discussion. Clients can expect a mix of strategies and talking therapy depending on what they want to address.
Her approach draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at thoughts, behaviours and emotions. She also uses Existential Therapy ideas to talk through questions about meaning, life purpose and navigating big transitions. These methods are used to address things like burnout, feeling lost after study, or struggling with relationship patterns.
Dagmar pays attention to specific concerns such as codependency, guilt and shame, emptiness, and experiences of sexual assault and abuse. She also supports people on the autism spectrum with related challenges where noted in her focus areas. The work often includes setting small goals and testing changes between sessions.
Practical details such as session cost vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the See online therapy options button.
How Dagmar uses therapeutic approaches online
Dagmar commonly combines Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy when working with practical problems like anxiety, low mood and stress. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and making space for a person's own perspective, while CBT looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and tests small experiments to change them.She also draws on Existential Therapy to discuss meaning, identity and life choices, which can help when someone feels stuck after university or during career changes. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative; the therapist and client talk about goals and try methods that fit the client’s needs and preferences.
Session format details are not specified here, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around study, shifts or busy weeks, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when required. The emphasis is on practical ways to bring therapy into everyday life rather than on any particular promise about outcomes.
