1. About Dagmara

   Dagmara Hubicka-Freeman is a therapist who uses Motivational Interviewing alongside other approaches to help people make changes that matter to them. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD and relationship difficulties. Sessions aim to be practical and collaborative so clients can bring small steps into daily life.

   Dagmara draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioural ideas and attachment-based perspectives to address emotional patterns. She offers ways to manage panic, intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviours and low mood. The focus is on what the person wants to change and finding workable strategies to get there.

   Her background includes five years of clinical practice and earlier experience leading workplace mental health and inclusion work in the corporate sector. That mix informs a practical, down-to-earth style that understands pressures at work and home. She also teaches counselling skills and hypnotherapy to trainees.

   Dagmara describes her work as trauma-informed and adaptable. She uses breathwork, nervous system regulation, parts work and somatic techniques when these match a person's needs. There is also a Yoga-CBT programme she uses for people wanting to reconnect body and mind while addressing anxiety or stress.

   For couples, she offers structured sessions to improve communication, rebuild trust and repair emotional disconnection. At times she may see partners separately to support the joint work. Dagmara works in English and Polish and is based in the United Kingdom.

   She holds the NCPS credential and has five years of clinical experience in therapeutic practice and teaching.

2. How Motivational and Acceptance-based Work Can Be Delivered Online

   Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what really matters and find their own reasons to change; it uses reflective listening and collaborative questioning to build motivation. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and small committed actions while teaching simple skills to notice thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. Attachment-based therapy looks at relational patterns and how early relationships affect current trust and connection, and it helps people practise new ways of relating.
   
   Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to test what feels helpful and adjust methods to match personal goals, learning style and life demands. That collaborative decision-making helps keep therapy practical and tailored to real-life needs.
   
   The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can still include conversational therapy, skill practice, guided breathing or movement exercises and short check-ins that fit into a busy day. The main practical benefits are easier scheduling, fewer travel needs and the ability to continue therapy while managing work or family commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt the same therapeutic activities used in face-to-face work to an online setting, helping clients make steady progress without major disruption to everyday life.
