About Dagmar

Dagmar Ball works with trauma, grief, relationship and mood difficulties using person-centred methods and trauma-focused approaches. She uses client-centred therapy, EMDR and solution-focused work to support people with practical strategies and processing difficult memories. Dagmar is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has seven years' experience in the UK.

Dagmar has worked with people from age 11 onwards, including those with depression, anxiety, autism and ADHD. She has supported people affected by physical trauma and abuse, including domestic and childhood violence. Her practice also covers a broad range of concerns such as addiction, bipolar disorder, low self-esteem and compassion fatigue.

Her way of working is direct and respectful. Sessions may involve listening, reflecting and using focused techniques to address traumatic memories or to build coping steps. She uses solution-focused tasks when helpful to create short-term goals and practical change.

Dagmar adapts her approach according to the issue presented. For trauma she can use EMDR and trauma-focused methods to work on distressing memories. For everyday stresses she often draws on client-centred conversation and solution-focused planning to identify manageable next steps.

People choosing Dagmar can expect to talk through specific problems, practise new strategies and review progress together. She works in English and accepts international clients. To arrange a first session follow the site's matching and booking process.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Dagmar works with client-centred therapy and EMDR among other trauma-focused methods. Client-centred therapy centres on listening and reflecting to help people clarify their thoughts and feelings; it suits concerns such as low mood, relationship problems and stress. EMDR involves structured processing of distressing memories and is used for trauma and abuse related difficulties.

She will work collaboratively to find the right mix of approaches. That means discussing your goals, trying techniques, and adjusting the plan together as progress is reviewed. The choice of method is decided with the client rather than imposed.

If you wish to have online sessions, please confirm the exact session formats available before booking as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around other commitments, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use techniques such as guided EMDR processing while in a comfortable setting. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and practical tasks for remote sessions so they work in everyday life.
