About Dagmar

Dagmar Salamonova-Clark is a BACP-accredited counsellor with 14 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She supports people with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, addiction, grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, ADHD and stress. Sessions are offered in English, Czech and Slovak and she accepts international clients.

Dagmar uses several therapeutic methods to match practical needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused approaches, and client-centred ways of working. That mix helps with day-to-day coping, making sense of relationships, and managing strong emotions.

Her background includes work in NHS settings, university counselling services, employee assistance programmes and private practice. Over the years she has trained in psychological therapies and completed professional development in ADHD practice and attachment work. She is listed with BACP, which is shown as her credential.

In sessions she focuses on clear, conversational work. People talk about patterns that cause pain and practical steps to change them. Therapy can include exploring thoughts and feelings, practising new ways of relating, and learning skills to reduce stress and improve sleep.

Practical details such as cost and session arrangements use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, users follow the sites online matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Confirm the current session formats before booking if you need a specific arrangement.

How sessions work

How these approaches are used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and decide what matters most to them. It often involves simple mindful exercises and practical steps to act on personal values when life gets difficult. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going and trying small experiments to change them. This approach often suits anxiety, sleep problems and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationship patterns affect present connections and emotional responses, and it can help with intimacy-related issues and recurring relationship tensions.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options together and use the methods that make most sense for the clients goals and preferences. That collaborative choice can change over time as different needs arise.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online arrangements before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, avoid travel time and let people attend from different locations. Many people find that practical exercises, behavioural experiments and discussion of relationship patterns transfer well to remote sessions, and the therapist will adapt tasks to suit each persons situation.
