Dagmar Ball
Gentle, practical therapy for trauma and life stress
About Dagmar
Dagmar Ball is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with seven years of experience. She practises within a person-centred humanistic framework and draws on trauma-informed methods to help people who are struggling to cope. Her manner is warm and approachable and she aims to make therapy feel straightforward and practical.
She offers a calm space to talk through depression, anxiety, stress and low mood. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, addiction and relationship difficulties.
Background and approach
She works with concerns linked to ADHD, autism and a range of intimacy and attachment issues. Dagmar adapts sessions to each person’s needs rather than using a single fixed method. She often uses client-centred listening to prioritise what matters most to the individual.
When appropriate, she brings in trauma-focused techniques and structured, solution-focused steps to help people make measurable changes. Her style is compassionate and direct. She treats people with respect and gently challenges unhelpful thinking.
Sessions aim to help clients find their own answers while receiving clear, practical support from the counsellor. Dagmar also responds to concerns such as anger, coping with life changes, self-esteem and compassion fatigue. She has experience with issues around abandonment, communication problems, chronic illness and caregiving stress.
Her practice is aimed at helping people build steadier day-to-day coping and clearer personal direction.

How her trauma-informed and person-centred methods work online
Dagmar uses client-centred therapy to prioritise what each person says matters most. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting and helping people find their own solutions, which can work well through conversation over video or phone. She also draws on Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, to help people process traumatic memories in structured ways when appropriate.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the journey. Dagmar will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and together they will choose methods to try. The process is collaborative and may combine listening-based work with trauma-focused steps or brief solution-focused tasks depending on the issue.
Online sessions offer practical benefits for many people. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when distance matters, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day, and live chat or text messaging suit short check-ins or reflection between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, caring roles or other commitments.
