About Sam
Sam Agnew is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with nine years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, career questions, ADHD, LGBT issues, relationships, grief and a range of other life challenges. Sam commonly supports young adults navigating change, identity and the pressures of early adulthood.
She describes an integrative, transpersonal approach that draws on several therapeutic models. That means she uses ideas from different therapies to shape conversations and practical steps. Sessions focus on helping people understand patterns, manage difficult feelings, and develop skills that fit their daily life.
Sam lists Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy among the approaches she uses. In practice this can mean noticing what matters to you, learning ways to reduce unhelpful thinking, working on relationships and building emotional regulation skills.
She also has experience supporting people with neurodivergence, addictions, complex trauma, intimacy and sexual culture topics, parenting and caregiving stress, chronic illness and body image concerns. Those areas appear alongside broader issues such as depression, bipolar, eating and sleeping problems, anger and self-esteem.
Sam asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session. Sessions are delivered through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and international clients are accepted.
How Sam uses key approaches in online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small steps toward those values. It helps when feeling stuck, overwhelmed by worry, or unsure about life direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and teaches practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy examines relationship patterns that affect how people connect and respond to others, which is helpful for intimacy, trust and family conflict.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sam uses a collaborative process to decide what fits each person. She will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and adapt sessions as needs change rather than sticking to one fixed method.
The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into study, work or caregiving schedules because they can reduce travel time and be easier to book around other commitments. They also allow for shorter check-ins when needed or phone sessions when bandwidth is limited. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to support steady, practical progress without disrupting everyday life.
