About Dagmar
Dagmar Salamonova-Clark is a BACP counsellor with 14 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with people who come because of anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, addiction, trauma, grief and a wide range of other struggles. Sessions are offered in English, Czech and Slovak and she accepts international clients.
Her way of working combines Emotionally-Focused Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural techniques. Conversations focus on emotions, short-term coping skills and patterns that keep problems repeating. Practical steps are mixed with time to name what feels hard and get clearer about priorities.
Dagmar trained in psychology and psychotherapy and holds postgraduate diplomas in psychodynamic therapy and CBT. She also has an advanced certificate in ADHD practice and ongoing professional development in trauma and attachment. This blend informs how she tailors sessions to each person’s concerns.
In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful patterns, practice different responses and strengthen emotional connection to their needs. Work may include behaviour-focused tasks between meetings, exploring attachment patterns, and gentle reflection on how past experiences shape present reactions.
People who choose her often want a practical yet emotionally aware approach. She aims to help clients build clearer coping strategies, better self-understanding and steadier day-to-day functioning.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to feelings and the patterns they create in relationships and personal life. In practice it helps people name difficult emotions, understand how they shape behaviour and try new ways of responding. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and practical steps for living despite difficult thoughts or feelings, which can help with anxiety, mood and motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early patterns of connection and how they influence current reactions and closeness in relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dagmar will work collaboratively to choose methods that match the person's goals, needs and preferences. That might mean emphasising emotional processing in some sessions and practical skills in others, depending on how someone responds.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find that video or phone sessions help keep continuity of care when life is unpredictable, and a shared plan is used to decide what works best for each client.
