Dagmar Salamonova-Clark, BACP

Dagmar Salamonova-Clark is a BACP-accredited counsellor who supports people with a wide range of concerns, including sexual and intimacy-related issues, anxiety, depression, grief and addiction. She offers a warm and approachable presence and aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure.

Dagmar uses an integrative style that draws on familiar talking therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and attachment-based ideas. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her, using practical exercises and discussion to work through difficult feelings and patterns.

She has 14 years of experience working in NHS services, university counselling, employee assistance programmes and private practice. That range of settings has informed a flexible way of working that adapts to different life circumstances and stresses.

Clients can expect calm, non-judgemental sessions where Dagmar helps them notice unhelpful thoughts, try out small changes and build coping strategies. She also pays attention to how relationships and attachment history shape current problems and conversations in the room may include both emotional work and practical tasks.

Dramatic or sudden change is rarely promised; instead Dagmar supports steady progress toward clearer goals, better self-understanding and more manageable daily life. She works in English and can also offer sessions in Czech and Slovak when needed.

How therapeutic approaches are used online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small steps toward things that matter, even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up. It is useful for stress, anxiety, low mood and difficulties with motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current emotional responses and helps people develop different ways of relating and feeling safer in close connections. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and testing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce symptoms and improve everyday functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dagmar will talk with the person about their needs, goals and preferences and together they will decide which methods to use. The therapist adapts the plan as therapy progresses so the work stays relevant and practical.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow for flexible scheduling. It also makes it possible to work with a therapist across borders, since she accepts international clients. Confirm the current session options before booking to see what formats are available, and consider practical choices such as shorter check-ins, phone sessions or video work depending on what fits best with daily routines.
