About Dagmar

Dagmar Salamonova-Clark is a BACP accredited counsellor with 14 years of experience in the United Kingdom. She works with a wide range of concerns including anger, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, addiction, trauma, grief and parenting stress. Sessions are conversational and practical, aimed at helping people manage strong feelings and cope with life changes.

She blends several approaches in her practice. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people to accept uncomfortable experiences while clarifying values and taking meaningful steps. Attachment-based ideas and emotionally-focused work inform how she understands relationship and intimacy issues.

Dagmar draws on experience from NHS services, university counselling and employee assistance programmes as well as private practice. She also has postgraduate study in psychodynamic psychotherapy, CBT, and an advanced certificate in ADHD practice. Her background means she often works with overlapping issues such as trauma and mood problems alongside anger or relationship stress.

In sessions she tends to be direct and curious. Conversations look at what keeps patterns going, what matters to the person, and practical ways to try things differently between sessions. She can work in English, Czech and Slovak and accepts clients from outside the UK.

Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin a placement with her, follow the site's online matching steps and schedule a first appointment.

How sessions work

Approaches that suit online conversation

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions linked to what matters. It can be useful for anger when someone wants clearer goals and steadier behaviour. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new responses. It often helps with stress, sleep problems, and patterns that keep anger cycling. Attachment-based work looks at how past relationships shape reactions now, which can clarify why anger shows up in close relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss brief experiments and ways of working, and decide together which methods fit the person's goals and life. This is a collaborative process that can adapt as issues change.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family life, cut travel time, and allow shorter focused check-ins when needed. Some people find phone sessions useful when bandwidth is limited, while video sessions help keep visual contact. Registered or accredited professionals, including this counsellor, can help find a practical rhythm that fits everyday routines.
