About Dagmar

Dagmar Salamonova-Clark is a BACP-accredited counsellor who supports people facing anxiety, depression, relationship problems, addiction, trauma, and codependency. She speaks English, Czech and Slovak and brings 14 years of experience to her work. Dagmar aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where people can begin to make sense of difficult feelings and take practical steps forward.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She listens for what matters most to each person and helps them identify small, manageable changes. Sessions combine emotional exploration with practical tools so people can cope better day to day.

Dagmar draws on a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Client-Centred methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. She weaves these methods together to match a person’s needs rather than following a single formula.

Her background includes work in the NHS, university counselling services, employee assistance programmes, and private practice. She holds an MSc in Psychology and postgraduate diplomas in psychodynamic psychotherapy and CBT, alongside an Advanced Certificate in ADHD practice.

People who come to her often want help with grief, parenting strain, body image, burnout, or navigating life changes. Dagmar focuses on helping people build resilience, clearer boundaries, and a stronger sense of self.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and take values-based steps in daily life. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and codependency patterns by clarifying what matters and encouraging small actions.

Attachment-Based work focuses on how early relationships affect current bonds and emotional responses. This approach can help people understand patterns in close relationships and build more secure ways of relating.

Finding the right method is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they decide which approaches to try. This collaborative discussion helps tailor sessions to what feels most useful for that person.

For practicalities, the original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family life or travel. It also lets people choose quieter times, use shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid being on camera if that helps them engage. Many registered or accredited professionals adapt exercises, worksheets and mindfulness practices to work well in remote sessions.
