Dagmar Salamonova-Clark
Compassionate counsellor for anxiety and life changes
About Dagmar
Dagmar Salamonova-Clark is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addiction, grief and trauma. She also supports those dealing with eating concerns, sleep problems, parenting stress, ADHD and career questions. Sessions are offered in English, Czech and Slovak and international clients are accepted.
Dagmar works in a warm, respectful way. She invites clients to talk about what matters to them and helps them notice patterns that keep causing pain.
Background and approach
The focus is on gentle curiosity, practical steps and building emotional strength. She encourages people to find their own solutions rather than prescribing fixes. Her practice draws on a mix of recognised approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy, attachment-based ideas and client-centred ways of working.
These methods are used to address thinking styles, relationship patterns and emotional responses. Sessions aim to make uncomfortable feelings easier to understand and manage. Dagmar has 14 years of experience working in a range of settings, including the NHS, university counselling services, employee assistance programmes and independent practice.
Her background includes study at master level in psychology and postgraduate training in psychological therapies. She keeps learning through continuing professional development and specialised workshops. In a session she is curious, present and direct when needed.
The work can include talking, practical exercises and sometimes coaching-style guidance. People looking for steady support through life changes or intense emotional issues will find a calm, structured approach.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and tiny steps towards a more meaningful life, which can suit anxiety, depression and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and gives simple tools to build different habits. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and unhelpful routines. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people try new ways of relating to themselves and others, which can ease intimacy and trust problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as the work develops.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different routines. Video is useful for a fuller conversation, phone can be quicker or use less bandwidth, and messaging suits short check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping a consistent course of support.
