Dagmar Salamonova-Clark , BACP

Dagmar Salamonova-Clark is a warm, integrative counsellor who brings a blend of professional training and lived curiosity to her therapeutic work. She is BACP accredited, holds an MSc in Psychology, and completed postgraduate diplomas in psychodynamic psychotherapy and cognitive behavioural therapy; she is also an advanced ADHD practitioner and adopts a trauma-informed, mind-body-spirit orientation.

Over more than a decade of practice she has worked across NHS services, university counselling, employee assistance programmes and private practice, supporting people through anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, disordered eating, addiction, trauma, health anxiety and other life challenges. Her approach draws on several therapeutic models so that sessions can be tailored to each person - blending practical strategies with exploration of deeper patterns and emotional experience.

Dagmar aims to offer a non-judgemental, empathic space where individuals can increase self-awareness, develop resilience and discover personally meaningful ways forward. She emphasizes collaboration - supporting and coaching people to identify their own solutions while offering structure, reflection and evidence-informed interventions. Her ongoing professional development includes trauma and attachment training, ADHD practice, and couples work, and her personal practice in yoga and reflective retreats informs a holistic stance toward wellbeing. It is her intention to be present, authentic and respectful while accompanying others on their journey toward greater clarity, balance and meaning.

Integrative approaches adapted for online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and build psychological flexibility. It uses mindful noticing and values-based action to reduce avoidance and support meaningful change, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships that originate in early caregiving and continue to shape adult connection. It supports understanding emotional needs and developing safer, more secure ways of relating, which can be useful for intimacy, attachment issues and relationship challenges.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening, unconditional positive regard and collaboration. It creates a respectful, non-directive environment where therapists follow the client's pace, helping people explore their experience and find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Dagmar works collaboratively to identify what fits each person's needs, goals and preferences. She and the client decide together whether to use techniques from ACT, attachment work, client-centered listening or a combination.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family and travel, and allow people to receive consistent support from licensed professionals regardless of location.
