Dagmar Ball , BACP

Dagmar Ball is a UK-based person-centered and humanistic therapist with more than seven years of clinical experience. She has worked with both young people and adults aged 11 and over, offering support for a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, ADHD and autism-related issues, low mood, personality disorder, and suicidal thoughts. She has also supported people who have experienced physical trauma or abuse, including physical, sexual, financial, domestic, and childhood abuse.

Dagmar’s therapeutic style is warm and approachable, and she adapts her methods to fit each person’s needs. She values respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and when needed she will gently challenge unhelpful thought patterns to open up new ways of thinking. She works collaboratively, believing that clients hold many of their own answers and that therapy can help reveal and build on those strengths.

Practically, Dagmar tailors sessions to individual circumstances and thinks creatively to provide the best possible therapy experience. She recognises that seeking help takes courage and aims to travel alongside clients as they work toward greater self-understanding and calmer inner experience. Dagmar holds BACP registration - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which indicates adherence to a recognised professional framework and standards for therapists in the UK.

She welcomes clients who are ready to begin that process and looks forward to supporting them through change and healing.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dagmar uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive, non-judgemental space where the client’s experience guides the work. This approach focuses on listening with empathy and helping people explore their feelings and goals, which is helpful for issues such as low mood, relationship difficulties, and self-esteem concerns.

She also works with trauma-focused methods and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) for people who have experienced traumatic events. Trauma-focused therapy aims to address and reduce the ongoing impact of traumatic experiences, while EMDR is a structured approach that can help process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Dagmar takes a collaborative stance - she will discuss options with each client and tailor the plan to their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they decide which methods feel most helpful and make adjustments as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, access support from different locations, and maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult. Dagmar uses these formats to provide consistent, responsive support that aligns with each client’s circumstances.
