About Dagmar
Dagmar Ball brings seven years of counselling experience in the United Kingdom. She works in a person-centred, humanistic way and aims to create a warm, respectful space. Dagmar focuses on helping people who are feeling anxious, low, overwhelmed by grief, or navigating relationship and intimacy concerns.
She also supports those dealing with trauma, addiction, ADHD and changes that ripple through daily life. Her approach is flexible and tailored. Sessions are framed around the person’s goals and what feels most helpful to them.
Background and approach
Dagmar listens without judgement and asks questions that encourage practical thinking and self-understanding. She offers gentle challenges where they can help someone see things differently. People who choose her tend to want a direct but compassionate style.
She describes herself as approachable and willing to try different ways of working when needed. The aim is to help clients uncover their own resources and make steady changes rather than push quick fixes. Dagmar is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
That registration is listed as her professional credential. She works with adults and young people aged 11 and over who present with a wide range of issues including trauma, depression, bipolar mood concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and difficulties with attachment or abandonment.
If someone is curious about starting, she asks them to make the first contact and complete a short matching questionnaire. That helps shape the first appointments and ensure sessions are aimed at the person’s priorities.

How Dagmar works online
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, works by guiding a person to process distressing memories while using a bilateral stimulation method. It is often used for trauma-related symptoms and can reduce the intensity of painful memories when applied carefully.
Finding the right method is part of the work together. Dagmar will talk through the options and decide with the person which approach best fits their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and may change as therapy progresses.
If you are considering online sessions, check the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins if needed, and offer the option of not being on camera for some meetings. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt client-centred and trauma-focused techniques for remote work, tailoring pace and structure to what helps each person most.
