Background and approach
Dagmar listens for the stories that shape someone’s life and gently guides them to rewrite unhelpful patterns. Her practice emphasises empathy, presence and clear boundaries. She aims to create a respectful space where people can reflect on their thoughts and feelings and try new ways of coping.
Work can include exploring past experiences, spotting unhelpful thinking, and practising small behavioural changes between sessions. Dagmar trained in psychology and has over a decade of clinical work. Her background includes NHS roles, university counselling and employee assistance programmes.
She draws on both talking-based therapies and an interest in mind-body approaches in her personal and professional learning. Practical arrangements use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, and scheduling is set through the site's matching process.
To begin, a short questionnaire and scheduling step are required.

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Online session options
How narrative and evidence-based approaches work online
Dagmar combines Narrative ideas with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based work to help people make sense of difficult experiences. Narrative-informed practice looks at the stories you tell about yourself and your life, and helps you re-author those stories so they feel less limiting. ACT focuses on values and committed action, helping people accept tough feelings while moving toward what matters to them. Attachment-Based therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people find safer ways of relating.Finding the right approach is a shared process. Dagmar will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that suit their situation, and adjust the plan as needed. The starting point is always what the client wants to change and what feels workable for them, and sessions are shaped collaboratively to meet those aims.
Online therapy offers flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distances. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for people who prefer writing, need timed support during the day, or want a quieter way to reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties or different time zones while using approaches such as narrative, ACT and attachment-focused work in a consistent way.
