Sam Agnew

Sam Agnew is a counsellor with nine years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation, which is recorded as BACP in her profile. Sam works in a straightforward, respectful way and aims to create a calm, compassionate space for people to talk about difficult experiences.

Sam uses an integrative approach that draws on several therapies to suit each person. She will tailor conversations and plans so they make sense for the person in front of her. That means practical steps as well as space to make sense of painful memories and confusing feelings.

Her experience includes supporting people with trauma, addiction, autism and ADHD, and issues linked to sexual orientation and intimacy. She also helps with stress, anxiety, grief, eating and sleeping problems, self-esteem, anger and mood difficulties. Sam pays attention to how early life experiences and attachment patterns shape current relationships and behaviour.

Sam uses methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural ideas, attachment-informed work, client-centred listening and skills from dialectical behaviour approaches. She adapts these to what each person needs and prefers. Sessions combine sensing what matters to the client with simple practices to manage difficult emotions.

People who want practical help for everyday problems or a deeper look at life changes may find her approach useful. To begin, visitors are invited to follow the site's booking steps and complete the short matching questionnaire to arrange a first session.

How core therapies translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people focus on what matters to them and build small actions that match their values; it is useful for anxiety, depression, anger and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people understand and change repeating dynamics in relationships and self-image. Client-Centred Therapy centres on listening, acceptance and empathic reflection so people feel heard and can move at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sam will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person's goals and preferences. That conversation usually starts in the first few sessions and may change as progress is made.

The original biography did not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - it can reduce travel time, help people fit a session into a lunch break or avoid needing to be on camera for a shorter check-in. Registered or accredited professionals can use these practical benefits to support ongoing work on anger, trauma, addiction and stress while tailoring tools and exercises to what each person finds most helpful.
