About Dagmar

Dagmar Spencer is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety and depression. She supports people coping with trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She also offers focused help for concerns such as codependency, emptiness and young adult issues.

Dagmar aims to make the first step into therapy feel straightforward. She creates a friendly, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about their thoughts and feelings. That practical tone helps people feel less alone and clearer about what to try next.

Background and approach

Her approach draws on a few complementary methods. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to keep sessions focused on the person and their experience. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small experiments to change them.

Dagmar also brings in existential ideas to help people think about meaning, values and the choices they face. Solution-Focused techniques are used when clients want short-term steps and goal-focused plans. This mix means sessions can be both reflective and action-oriented.

She holds the BACP credential, which appears on her profile as BACP. Dagmar has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. Sessions are offered in English and are delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text.

Approaches that shape online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting the person's experience back to them. It helps people feel heard and encourages self-directed change by following the client's lead. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thinking patterns and unhelpful behaviours and uses practical exercises to try new ways of responding. That approach often suits anxiety and low mood by targeting specific thoughts and habits.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the person's needs. They can combine reflective, meaning-focused work with short-term practical steps so sessions stay relevant and useful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing reflective notes or times when typing feels more comfortable. These options give flexibility for different rhythms of life and ways of working with a therapist.
