Dagmar Ball , BACP

Dagmar Ball is a person-centered and humanistic therapist practising in the United Kingdom with over seven years of clinical experience. She has worked with children, young people and adults aged 11 and over, supporting individuals facing a wide range of difficulties including depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, autism and ADHD, low mood, personality disorder, and suicidal ideation. She has also worked closely with people who have experienced trauma and various forms of abuse, including physical, sexual, financial abuse, domestic violence, and childhood abuse.

Dagmar brings a warm and approachable style to her work, combining sensitivity and respect with thoughtful challenge when it benefits the client. She adapts therapy to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, thinking creatively to ensure sessions meet specific needs. Dagmar believes clients have many of the answers within themselves and offers gentle guidance to help remove the temporary fixes that hold progress back and to support deeper healing and growth.

She is accredited with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and aims to travel alongside clients as they take courageous steps toward change. Dagmar welcomes those ready to begin that process and is accepting new clients, including international referrals.

Trauma-Informed and Client-Centered Online Care

Dagmar integrates client-centered principles with trauma-focused techniques to deliver online therapy that adapts to each person's needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathetic, non-judgmental environment where the client leads the pace and direction of change - this approach helps with low mood, self-esteem, relationship concerns, and navigating life transitions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured method used to process distressing memories and reduce the intensity of trauma-related symptoms; it can be helpful for people who have experienced abuse or significant physical or emotional trauma. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding the impact of trauma and developing tools to manage triggers, emotional responses, and relational patterns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dagmar works together with clients to identify which methods fit their goals, preferences, and comfort level, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This shared decision-making helps ensure therapy feels relevant and manageable.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility - clients can meet by video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging, which can make it easier to access consistent support around work, family, or mobility needs. These options allow therapy to fit into daily life, maintaining continuity of care even when in-person appointments are not possible.
