Dagmar Salamonova-Clark , BACP

Dagmar Salamonova-Clark is a BACP-accredited integrative counsellor who brings warmth, clarity, and a trauma-informed, mind-body-spirit sensibility to her therapeutic work. With 14 years of clinical experience across the NHS, university counselling services, employee assistance programmes, and private practice, she supports people facing a wide range of challenges including anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, addictions, eating concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and issues related to identity and intimacy.

Her training includes an MSc in Psychology - a master level qualification in psychological science - postgraduate diplomas in psychodynamic psychotherapy and in cognitive behavioural therapy - advanced clinical training in those therapeutic models - and an advanced certificate in ADHD practice, indicating specialist preparation for working with attention-related difficulties. She combines these formal qualifications with ongoing professional development in areas such as couples work and attachment, and with embodied personal practice including yoga and reflective retreats.

Dagmar uses an integrative approach, drawing on evidence-based methods and relational depth to tailor therapy to each person. She aims to create an empathic, non-judgemental space where individuals can explore thoughts, feelings and patterns, build emotional resilience, and co-create practical steps toward greater wellbeing and meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them, learn skills to accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and commit to actions that align with their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and early patterns of connection, exploring how attachment styles shape current intimacy, communication, and responses to stress; this approach can help with relationship difficulties, abandonment issues, and trauma-related attachment concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Dagmar works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review progress and adapt the plan so therapy remains relevant and effective for the person's life context.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter interactions are possible via live chat or text-based messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access support from different locations, and continue work consistently even when in-person meetings are not possible. Licensed professionals can deliver most evidence-based approaches effectively through these formats, tailoring contact style and frequency to each client's needs.
