About Dagmar
Dagmar Spencer is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and life changes. Her focus also includes autism and Asperger syndrome, codependency, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, forgiveness, sexual assault, self-harm and young adult issues.
She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Conversations aim to surface what matters most and to notice patterns that keep someone stuck. She uses clear techniques to help people manage anxiety, lift mood and try different ways of responding to old problems.
Dagmar draws on client-centred ways of working to make room for a person’s own priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioural tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviours. Existential ideas are welcomed when questions about meaning or purpose come up.
In sessions she talks things through collaboratively, sets small goals, and checks what is working. That might look like short experiments between meetings or simple skills to reduce overwhelm. She aims to help people practice new ways of relating to themselves and others.
Practical arrangements such as cost and session booking use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled via the site.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Dagmar uses client-centred ways of working and cognitive behavioural therapy in online sessions. Client-centred work means the conversation follows what feels most important to the person and focuses on their experience. This style helps when someone needs listening and clarity about personal priorities. CBT involves spotting thinking patterns and trying small behavioural experiments to reduce anxiety or lift mood, which can be practised between sessions.She also draws on existential ideas when questions about meaning or life direction come up. That approach helps people think through values and choices rather than sticking with unhelpful routines. Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together; the therapist and client discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what is helpful.
Session formats are not listed in the supplied biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work, study or family routines. They also allow for shorter check-ins, phone conversations that use less bandwidth, or video sessions that include visual cues when helpful. Registered or accredited professionals will work with each person to choose what suits their needs and daily life.
