Dagmar Salamonova-Clark, BACP

Dagmar Salamonova-Clark is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing anxiety, depression, relationship pain, addiction and trauma. She also supports people dealing with eating concerns, sleep problems, bereavement, ADHD and work or career stress. She speaks English, Czech and Slovak and works with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Her way of working is warm and straightforward. Sessions are collaborative and focused on what a person wants to change. She uses practical tools and conversations to build awareness, reduce distress and help people make different choices day to day.

Dagmar draws on a mix of approaches including cognitive behavioural ideas, attachment-focused work and a client-centred stance. That means she pays attention to feelings, relationships and patterns that keep problems repeating, while also helping people try concrete behaviours to feel better. Therapy can include exploring past experiences and practising new responses in the present.

She has 14 years of experience across NHS services, university counselling, employee assistance programmes and private practice. Her background includes study in psychology and further qualifications in psychotherapy and psychological therapies.

Sessions may suit someone who wants a thoughtful but practical counsellor who listens carefully and offers clear steps forward. People often come for help with self-esteem, coping with life changes, grief, intimacy concerns, and stress that affects daily functioning.

How her approaches work online and in sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, chronic stress and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses. This approach can help with relationship difficulties, intimacy issues and reactions rooted in past hurt.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will discuss options and jointly decide what methods match a person's goals, preferences and practical needs. Sessions can blend talking, skills practice and reflection, adjusted over time as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit a busy day or use less data, and text-based formats suit brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These choices make it easier to keep to regular sessions and to use therapy around work and family commitments.
