About Dagmar
Dagmar Spencer is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and life changes. Sessions are offered in English and she works with young adult issues and concerns linked to autism and Asperger Syndrome among other focus areas.
Dagmar uses clear, practical methods in sessions. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits, try small changes, and review what works. Conversations are client-led and straightforward, with attention to everyday problems and how they affect routine life.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thinking patterns and on Client-Centred Therapy to follow what the person brings to the room. Existential ideas and Solution-Focused techniques are used to help people consider meaning and set manageable goals. Imago Relationship Therapy may be included when relationship patterns are part of the issue.
Dagmar also addresses issues such as codependency, guilt and shame, feelings of emptiness, and questions about life purpose. She is experienced supporting people after sexual assault and self-harm thoughts, and helps people develop coping strategies for difficult moments.
Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and costs vary by location. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment using the See online therapy options button.
Working online with CBT and person-centred methods
Dagmar commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot recurring thoughts and test new responses. CBT sessions often focus on specific patterns that keep problems going and on practical steps to change them. She also uses Client-Centred Therapy, which means listening closely to what the person brings and shaping the conversation around their concerns.Existential ideas are used when questions about meaning, choice and purpose come up. These sections of work look at values, priorities and how someone wants to live day to day. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process; the therapist and client review progress and adapt methods to fit the person's goals and preferences.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, since formats are not listed here. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel on difficult days. The therapist will discuss how sessions can be scheduled to suit everyday life and to match the practical needs of the person seeking support.
