About Dagmar
Dagmar Ball is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years of experience. She works with adults and young people aged 11 and over on issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, ADHD and anger. Her background includes supporting people who have experienced physical trauma or abuse, including domestic and childhood abuse.
Her approach is person-centred and humanistic. Sessions are practical and straightforward. She listens first, then helps clients notice patterns and try different ways of responding to difficult feelings. She uses direct reflection and gentle challenge to help people examine beliefs that feed anger and resentment.
Dagmar draws on trauma-focused work and EMDR where this is appropriate. She also uses solution-focused techniques to set small, achievable goals. These methods are presented in clear steps so clients can practise new responses between sessions.
She aims to adapt sessions to each client’s needs rather than following a fixed script. That can mean changing pace, using exercises in the session, or concentrating on skills to manage stress and impulsive reactions. She also helps with longer-term issues such as attachment or abandonment concerns that can underlie persistent anger.
People who come to her often want practical tools for lowering reactivity, repairing relationship strains, or making sense of past hurts. The work is collaborative - the client and counsellor decide what to try next and review what helps most.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions are used
Dagmar uses person-centred practice alongside trauma-focused tools to help people manage anger and related problems. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflection so people can find their own solutions and make decisions at their own pace. It is useful for building steadier responses to frustration and improving self-understanding.She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) where trauma memories are keeping strong emotional reactions alive. EMDR aims to reduce the hold of painful memories so triggers become less overwhelming. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set small, practical goals and try simple changes between sessions to reduce reactivity and improve communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options and agree a plan with each client, combining listening, skills practice and targeted trauma work as needed. This is a collaborative process based on the client’s needs and preferences.
The therapist accepts international clients but the original biography did not specify session formats. Please confirm the available formats before booking to make sure they fit your daily routine. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy weeks, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so clients can focus on managing stress and practising new responses.
