Dagmar Spencer

Dagmar Spencer is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. Dagmar also focuses on issues such as autism and Asperger syndrome, codependency, emptiness, guilt and shame, self-harm, sexual assault and abuse, and questions about life purpose.

She uses straightforward conversation to help people name what feels wrong. Sessions are client-centred, which means she listens to what matters most to the person in front of her. She also draws on cognitive behavioural approaches to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small, practical changes.

Dagmar describes existential ideas in plain terms to help people consider values, meaning and personal responsibility when life feels uncertain. She uses solution-focused steps to set clear, short-term goals and check progress. Imago relationship work appears in her toolkit for clients who want to improve how they relate to important people in their life.

Her style is practical and down-to-earth. Conversations aim to be direct and honest, while also giving space to difficult emotions. Sessions will include reflection, gentle challenge and exercises the person can use between meetings.

If someone is unsure what to expect, she asks a few simple questions at the first meeting. That helps shape the work and set small, realistic aims. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Dagmar works with client-centred practice, cognitive behavioural techniques and existential ideas to help people facing uncertainty. Client-centred therapy means she listens first and follows what the person brings to the room, using that as the starting point for change. Cognitive behavioural work focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural experiments to reduce anxiety or low mood. Existential approaches help people clarify values and life purpose when major changes raise questions about meaning.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will discuss options and agree on methods with the client. That collaborative planning helps match techniques to current goals and circumstances rather than applying a fixed formula.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online meetings can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a workday. They can also make some practical tasks simpler, such as sharing worksheets or recording agreed actions for follow-up. Registered or accredited professionals can deliver these ways of working, and Dagmar will help decide what suits each person’s routine and needs.
