About Dagmar

Dagmar Salamonova-Clark is a BACP-accredited counsellor in the United Kingdom with 14 years of experience. She works with adults on problems such as anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship difficulties and codependency. Sessions are offered in English, Czech and Slovak and international clients are accepted.

Her style blends several practical approaches. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to look at thinking and behaviour patterns. She also draws on Attachment-Based ideas to understand how past relationships shape present ones. Client-Centred principles guide sessions so the person remains at the heart of decisions about the work.

Dagmar often helps people who struggle with people-pleasing, setting boundaries, and feeling overwhelmed by others' needs. She also supports those coping with grief, trauma, eating issues, ADHD-related challenges, and career or parenting stress. The focus is on clear steps people can try between sessions as well as reflecting on patterns that repeat in relationships.

Her background includes work in NHS services, university counselling and employee assistance programmes, and private practice. The BACP accreditation listed means she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, as provided in her profile. She brings practical tools and relational understanding to her work.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How sessions work

How her therapeutic approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that matter to them. It is often used for anxiety, stress and for people who feel stuck repeating the same patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early and past relationships to explain current relationship habits and emotional responses. It can help when codependency or fear of abandonment affects how someone relates to others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, then agree a way of working together. That decision is collaborative and can change as the work progresses.

The profile does not list specific online formats, so confirm the available session types before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from different locations. Registered or accredited professionals can guide practical steps to make sessions workable alongside work, family and other commitments.
