About Sam
Sam Agnew is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with nine years of professional experience. She works with adults on common difficulties such as stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and family concerns. Sam also helps people facing parenting strain, grief, intimacy issues and life changes.
She describes her practice as integrative and transpersonal, meaning she draws on several approaches to suit the person in front of her. Sam uses practical dialogue and reflective exercises rather than jargon. Sessions focus on what is happening day to day and on manageable steps people can try between meetings.
Her work includes supporting people with neurodiversity-related challenges such as autism and ADHD, and with substance use concerns. She also addresses relationship and family issues from the perspective of the individual, and helps with career-related stress and burnout. Sam lists experience with a broad range of concerns including body image, caregiving stress and chronic illness.
She uses approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques and skills from dialectical behaviour work. Sam aims to blend these so the session fits the person’s needs rather than following a single method.
Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. The therapist asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site’s online booking flow. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used and how they work online
Sam commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-informed methods alongside client-centred listening. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking small behavioural steps, which can help with anxiety, stress and low mood. Attachment-informed work looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how early bonds affect current reactions and parenting choices. Client-centred therapy involves open listening and reflective conversation to help people feel heard and to make sense of their own priorities.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sam will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and help decide which methods to try. The choice of techniques is collaborative and can change as needs shift over time.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around family life, for example allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break or avoiding travel on busy days. It can also mean not needing to be on camera for every meeting, which some people prefer. Registered or accredited professionals often find online sessions useful for continuing regular support when schedules are busy.
