About Dagmar
Dagmar Salamonova-Clark is a BACP-accredited counsellor who helps people facing anxiety, depression, relationship and family worries, grief, trauma, addiction and everyday habit changes. She speaks English, Czech and Slovak and brings 14 years of experience supporting adults through career stress, parenting strain, sleep problems, ADHD concerns and issues with self-esteem. Her manner is warm and approachable and she aims to make the first step feel manageable.
In sessions she focuses on thoughts and everyday habits, and on how small changes can shift patterns over time. She draws on clear, practical methods such as cognitive behavioural strategies alongside approaches that attend to feelings and attachment. Conversations explore what is happening now and how past experiences shape current reactions.
Dagmar combines person-centred listening with structured tools when they suit the client. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people live by their values, and attachment-focused work to look at relationship patterns. Emotion-Focused elements are used when emotions need naming and processing.
Her background includes work in the NHS, university counselling services, employee assistance programmes and private practice. She also holds postgraduate study in psychodynamic and cognitive therapy and has undertaken additional training related to ADHD and trauma-informed care.
Many clients come for help with coping through life changes, improving communication, managing stress and forming healthier daily habits. The process is collaborative: she supports people to identify small, realistic steps and to build routines that fit everyday life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people focus on what really matters and take small actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and difficulties with motivation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and habits and offers practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and routines. It can help with stress, sleep problems, depression and many everyday difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current interactions and can be helpful for intimacy issues, relationship patterns and understanding emotional responses.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy journey. The therapist works collaboratively to decide which methods to try, guided by the client's goals and preferences. Sessions may combine elements from different models so the work fits the person's needs rather than forcing a single method.
Specific session formats are not listed in the profile, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life - for example it can reduce travel time, allow a shorter check-in during a lunch break, or avoid the need to be on camera if that feels difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and practical tools for remote sessions so the work on thoughts and everyday habits continues between meetings.
