Dagmar Spencer, BACP

Dagmar Spencer helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. She is approachable and direct, and focuses on practical steps people can use day to day. Dagmar holds BACP credentials and works from the United Kingdom. She speaks English and uses straightforward talk to help clients begin to feel steadier.

Dagmar aims to build a calm, non-judgemental space where people can say what they are finding hard. She listens first, then helps set simple goals together. Sessions are practical and tailored to what a client needs right now, whether that means learning new ways to manage anxiety or finding meaning after difficult events.

Her work draws on Client-Centred Therapy to keep the conversation focused on each person's experience. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try small experiments to change it. Solution-Focused ideas are used to spot what is already working and build on strengths.

Over four years of experience informs her flexible style. Dagmar supports people with self-esteem struggles, codependency patterns, feelings of emptiness, and questions about life purpose. She also helps those affected by sexual assault, self-harm thoughts, guilt and shame, and the transitions common in young adulthood.

Practicalities are kept simple. Sessions can happen by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then arranges sessions to suit their schedule.

How Dagmar’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy places the client’s experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens carefully, reflects what is said and helps people make sense of their feelings. This approach is helpful for building trust and for anyone wanting a gentle, person-led pace.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and small behaviour changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. CBT is useful when someone wants clear strategies to manage worry or depressed thinking.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then try methods that suit those aims. Techniques can be adjusted as progress is reviewed so the work stays relevant and manageable.

Online sessions use video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is good for fuller conversation and visual cues, while phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging suits quick check-ins or daytime support when a shorter exchange is needed. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, study and other commitments.
