About Dagmar
Dagmar Spencer is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. Dagmar also focuses on concerns such as autism and Asperger syndrome, codependency, emptiness, forgiveness, guilt and shame, life purpose, self-harm, sexual assault and abuse, and young adult issues.
She prefers a conversational approach that keeps the client’s concerns central. Sessions aim to let people talk through their thoughts and feelings without judgement. Dagmar uses straightforward techniques to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding to problems.
Her practice draws on Client-Centred Therapy to place the person’s experience first. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify thinking and behaviour patterns that contribute to distress. Existential ideas are brought in to help people reflect on meaning and direction when life changes feel overwhelming.
In sessions she works to set clear, achievable steps so progress can be seen. Solution-Focused methods are used to plan small, practical changes between meetings. Imago Relationship Therapy concepts may appear when relationship patterns are part of what a person wants to address.
Dagmar asks people to begin by completing a short matching questionnaire before booking a first session. Fees vary by location and are paid through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not take international clients.
Approaches used in online sessions
Dagmar draws on Client-Centred Therapy to keep the focus on the person’s experience, listening to what matters most and helping people name their feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, and to try practical exercises that reduce distress. Existential ideas are used to consider meaning and direction when life changes feel disorienting.Choosing an approach is part of the work rather than a one-time decision. Dagmar will discuss different methods with each person and agree together which fits best based on needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative process may combine elements from more than one approach as the work progresses.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into busy schedules and keeping appointments when travel is difficult. If you want to check which session formats are offered, please confirm the current options before booking. Many people find online meetings helpful for shorter check-ins or for regular weekly sessions that slot into work or study days.
