About Dagmar

Dagmar Ball is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years of practice. She offers support for a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship and parenting difficulties, trauma and abuse, and neurodiversity-related issues such as Autism and ADHD. She also lists blended family issues among her focus areas.

Her approach draws on client-centred principles, helping people talk through what matters to them and decide next steps. She can also use EMDR for trauma-related work and solution-focused methods for shorter-term planning. Sessions are practical and aim to help people manage stress, grief, anger, low self-esteem and major life changes.

Dagmar keeps sessions straightforward and direct. She listens, reflects, and sometimes challenges unhelpful thinking. She uses techniques suited to the concern at hand rather than one fixed method. This can be useful for parenting pressures, loyalty conflicts in stephouseholds, or coping with separation and divorce.

Her background includes supporting adults and younger people from age 11 upwards with complex presentations, including experiences of domestic violence and other abuses. She records experience with addictions, bipolar and chronic illness concerns alongside emotional and relational difficulties.

If someone is considering therapy for stepfamily stress, co-parenting friction or adjustment after a new household forms, Dagmar offers an open, pragmatic way of working. Prospective clients should confirm session formats before booking and follow the site's booking steps to arrange an initial appointment.

How Dagmar uses therapeutic approaches online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. It helps people find their own answers by exploring feelings and choices in a non-directive way, which can help with relationship stress and parenting dilemmas.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that works with distressing memories to reduce their emotional intensity. It is often used for people who have experienced abuse, domestic violence or other traumatic events and want to process those memories.

Solution-Focused Therapy looks at short-term goals and small practical steps. It is useful when someone wants clearer plans for co-parenting, household routines, or managing specific challenges in a blended home.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dagmar will discuss different methods and help decide what fits the client's needs, goals and preferences. That choice is made together and can change as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work, childcare or commuting, and can allow shorter check-ins or audio-only meetings when that better suits daily life. Registered and accredited professionals often use remote sessions to maintain continuity of care across locations.
