About Dagmar
Dagmar Ball is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with seven years of experience. She supports adults and young people from age 11 who are coping with issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship and parenting concerns, ADHD and trauma-related difficulties.
She has worked with people affected by physical trauma and abuse, including domestic and childhood abuse. Her caseload has included grief, addiction, bipolar symptoms, chronic illness and the stresses of caregiving. Dagmar also addresses matters like intimacy, anger, communication problems and attachment worries.
Her approach is person-centred in style. That means sessions focus on the person's experience and priorities. She uses Trauma-Focused Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) where appropriate, alongside solution-focused ideas to help set and reach practical goals.
In a typical session she listens, reflects and gently challenges patterns that get in the way of change. Work may include talking through painful memories, building coping skills for everyday stress, or setting small steps to improve relationships and parenting routines. She aims to offer clear, honest feedback rather than jargon.

How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Dagmar draws on person-centred work alongside Trauma-Focused Therapy and EMDR. Person-centred work focuses on listening carefully to what matters most to the individual and responding in a respectful, non-judgemental way. It helps people clarify their priorities and find their own next steps.Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the impact of traumatic events by helping a person process difficult memories and reduce their effect on daily life. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured method used to process distressing memories and associated feelings; it is often used with trauma-related symptoms.
Finding the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options with the client, consider goals and preferences, and agree a plan together. Sessions can blend approaches so practical goals and emotional processing sit alongside each other.
