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 coping with eating concerns, ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, work stress and parenting pressures. Sessions are offered in English, Czech and Slovak and she works with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.
Dagmar uses a somatic-informed and integrative style. That means she pays attention to thoughts, feelings and bodily responses.
Background and approach
She combines practical strategies with space to reflect and understand recurring patterns. The pace is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Her background includes 14 years of clinical experience across the NHS, university counselling and employee assistance programmes, as well as independent practice.
She holds postgraduate diplomas in psychodynamic psychotherapy and cognitive behavioural therapy and a master’s degree in psychology. Her BACP registration is listed as BACP. In sessions Dagmar offers goal-focused work as well as exploratory therapy.
She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based approaches and client-centred principles when helpful. Conversations may include practical coping tools, movement or awareness of bodily sensations to ground emotional work. People come to her to build clarity, improve sleep and intimacy, manage anger or rebuild self-esteem after loss or abuse.
She encourages small, steady steps and supports clients to try new ways of being between sessions.
How Dagmar’s approaches work online
Somatic-informed work helps people notice how emotions show up in the body and uses breath, posture or movement to relieve tension and increase grounding. It can be useful for trauma, stress, sleep problems and a sense of being disconnected from the body.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts while choosing actions that match personal values. It offers simple exercises to reduce avoidance and build a meaningful direction in life.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections. It helps people understand repeating patterns in relationships and find new ways of relating and communicating.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your concerns, discuss options and try methods together to see what fits your goals and preferences. That decision is made collaboratively and can adapt over time.
Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. That makes it easier to fit sessions around work, family and travel and to continue work when in different locations. These formats also allow a mix of focused exercises, reflective conversation and short check-ins between longer sessions for ongoing support.
