Dagmar Salamonova-Clark, BACP

Dagmar Salamonova-Clark is a BACP counsellor who supports people with a wide range of concerns. She works with anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, grief, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, and stress related to caregiving or chronic illness. She also offers help with career questions, self-esteem, anger, and coping with major life changes.

Her style is warm and direct. She creates a calm space to talk through what is happening now while noticing patterns from the past. Sessions aim to increase self-awareness and build practical steps clients can try between meetings. The tone is collaborative rather than prescriptive.

Dagmar draws on several approaches to tailor therapy to each person. These include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centred methods. She blends ideas from these models to match a person’s goals and situation.

She has 14 years of experience across NHS work, university counselling services, employee assistance programmes, and private practice. Her background includes postgraduate qualifications in psychodynamic psychotherapy and CBT, and an advanced certificate in ADHD practice.

Sessions are offered in English, Czech and Slovak, and she accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts so they can act in line with their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and life changes where avoidance has become a pattern. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and gives practical strategies to reduce symptoms like panic, low mood or disturbed sleep. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can be useful when trust, intimacy or repeated relationship difficulties are central.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that fit your needs, goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may change as you progress together.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online therapy helpful because it can fit around work, caregiving or mobility limits and makes it easier to keep appointments. Online sessions can also allow a shorter check-in when needed, or reduce travel time so therapy becomes easier to maintain alongside everyday life. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors using these approaches, can explain which format will best support your practical needs.
