With 14 years of clinical experience, she combines evidence-based methods and relational work to support people facing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, eating concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and family difficulties, parenting challenges, stress, ADHD, and a wide range of life transitions. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to tailor interventions to each person’s needs. BACP accreditation indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists, and her training includes postgraduate study in psychodynamic psychotherapy, postgraduate training in CBT, and an advanced certificate in ADHD practice.

Dagmar’s background includes work within the NHS, university student counselling services, employee assistance programmes, and private practice, giving her experience with diverse populations and presenting issues. She offers an empathic, non-judgemental space where exploration of thoughts, feelings, and behaviours can lead to greater self-awareness, resilience, and practical steps toward change. Committed to ongoing personal and professional development, she integrates mind-body-spirit perspectives into her practice and is available to work with clients in English, Czech, and Slovak, including international clients via online and remote therapy options.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online and Remote Care

Dagmar uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, then choose actions that align with their values - an approach that can be helpful for anxiety, stress, low mood, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore patterns that developed in early relationships and how they affect current connections, which is useful for intimacy-related concerns, abandonment issues, and family or relationship difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathic listening and supporting the client’s own capacity for growth, offering a respectful, non-directive space for work on self-esteem, grief, and personal change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. She works collaboratively with clients to identify and adapt methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and aligns her work with how registered professionals and therapists commonly combine approaches to best support each person.

Online therapy with Dagmar is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules, locations, and communication preferences. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from outside a local area, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for the client.
