About Dagmar

BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. Dagmar Spencer helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self esteem, depression and life changes. She uses conversational therapy methods and practical steps to address day-to-day problems.

Dagmar works in plain language and keeps sessions focused on what matters now. She listens to each person’s concerns and uses Client-Centred and Solution-Focused techniques to identify immediate goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used when clients want to look at unhelpful thinking and build different habits.

Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. Sessions typically involve talking through recent difficulties, noticing patterns in thoughts and behaviour, and trying small experiments between sessions. She encourages realistic, step-by-step changes rather than big leaps.

Dagmar also draws on Existential ideas to help people clarify values and what matters to them. Imago Relationship Therapy elements may be used to look at how early patterns influence current relationships. These methods are chosen to fit the person’s needs and the problem at hand.

She has particular focus on issues such as autism and Asperger Syndrome, codependency, emptiness, guilt and shame, forgiveness, sexual assault and abuse, self-harm and young adult concerns. Practical coping strategies and short-term plans are part of the work when appropriate.

Sessions are conducted in English and operate through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Before booking, readers should use the site matching steps to check current session options and schedule a first appointment.

How her therapeutic approaches work in remote sessions

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre. In practice this means listening carefully, reflecting what has come up and helping the client find their own solutions. It suits people who want a conversational space to make sense of feelings.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. Sessions often include tracking patterns, trying behavioural experiments and practising different ways of thinking. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood and managing repetitive worries.

Existential Therapy helps people clarify values and make meaning when life feels uncertain. It can support those facing big life changes or questions about purpose. The therapist uses questions and reflection to help a person consider choices and priorities.

Choosing the right approach is a joint task. Dagmar will work with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she may combine techniques as needs change. This collaborative process begins in the first sessions and is reviewed over time.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking.
