Background and approach

Her work has also included supporting people with ADHD, autism, and long-term health challenges. Dagmar pays attention to each person's history and the practical effects of their difficulties. Sessions are tailored to what each person needs.

She uses client-centred ways of working that start from your experience and build at your pace. When appropriate she includes trauma-focused methods and eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing as part of a recovery plan. Dagmar describes her approach as sensitive and respectful.

She listens closely, asks questions that help shift patterns, and challenges unhelpful thinking when it will help. Her aim is to guide people toward clearer thinking and calmer emotional responses. People meet her for support with grief, addiction, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

She also helps with intimacy and commitment worries, dissociation, and compassion fatigue. The focus is on small practical steps that make a real difference over time.

How Dagmar’s approaches work online

Dagmar uses client-centred work to help people be heard and understood. This approach focuses on the person's experience and builds at their pace, which can help with anxiety, low mood and relationship worries. EMDR - eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing - is used for trauma work and aims to reduce the intensity of distressing memories by processing them in a structured way.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Dagmar will discuss options and work together with each person to decide what fits their needs, goals and comfort level. That collaborative choice may change as sessions progress and new priorities emerge.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can fit around work breaks or take less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or days when writing feels easier. These options help people access therapy from different locations and at varied times.
