About Sam
Sam Agnew is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works from an integrative, transpersonal perspective. She holds BACP accreditation and has nine years of professional experience supporting people through difficult life events. Sam aims to create a respectful and compassionate space where clients can talk through what matters most to them.
Her approach combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-focused ideas, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy with a client-centred attitude. She uses these methods flexibly to match each person's needs rather than following a single fixed model. This helps when people face issues like anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction or relationship strain.
Sam has particular experience with neurodiversity concerns such as Autism and ADHD, and with substance use issues including alcoholism and drug addiction. She also supports people with grief, parenting strain, intimacy-related concerns and those navigating life changes or career stress. Financial and money-related worries are included among the life stresses she addresses as part of broader coping and planning work.
Her background emphasises working with early life trauma, emotional neglect and attachment difficulties, as well as complex trauma presentations including PTSD and CPTSD. Sam describes her practice as informed by transpersonal ideas, which aim to consider the whole person across emotional, relational and existential levels.
To begin, Sam asks people to reflect on their goals and priorities so she can tailor conversations and practical steps. Prospective clients can use the site pathway to match and schedule a first appointment according to the therapist's process.
How Sam's approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, choose what matters most, and take small steps towards those values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and decisions that feel stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns in close connections and can help when people struggle with trust, boundaries or emotional closeness. Client-Centred Therapy means conversations are led by the client's priorities, with the counsellor offering active listening and reflection rather than directing the process.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The counsellor will listen to your goals, try a way of working, and adjust as needed. Together you can test what helps and shift direction if something does not fit.
Practical benefits of remote working include fitting sessions around daily life and keeping momentum between appointments. Some people find shorter check-ins easier to manage during a busy day, while others prefer longer conversations at set times. The biography does not list specific session formats here, so please confirm available options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can use online work to maintain continuity of care and to make therapy more convenient alongside other commitments.
