Dagmar Spencer, BACP

Dagmar Spencer helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and life changes. She also supports those coping with trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and challenges around motivation. Dagmar greets new clients with an open, non-judgemental attitude and encourages small first steps into talking things through.

Dagmar works in a straightforward, person-focused way. She aims to build a calm atmosphere where feelings and worries can be spoken about honestly. Sessions are grounded in practical conversation rather than jargon, so people can leave with clear next steps.

Her approach draws on Client-Centred Therapy to follow what matters most to the person. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and try new patterns, and she may bring in Solution-Focused techniques to set realistic short-term goals.

Dagmar has four years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation. She practises in the United Kingdom and offers therapy in English. She does not accept international clients at this time.

People often come to her for help with issues such as codependency, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, finding life purpose, or young adult transitions. She can also support survivors of sexual assault and those who have self-harmed, working at the client’s pace and priorities.

How Dagmar’s approaches fit online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. It is useful for people who need space to sort out feelings and make sense of difficult experiences. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. This helps with anxiety, low mood and day-to-day coping. Existential Therapy encourages thinking about meaning, choice and values when major life changes or feelings of emptiness occur.

Choosing the right approach is part of starting therapy. Dagmar will work with each person to decide which methods suit their needs and goals. She aims for a collaborative process where the client’s preferences shape the plan and adjustments are made as progress is reviewed.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins at convenient times, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use exercises and written tools between sessions, which can speed up learning new ways of coping.
