About Sam
Sam Agnew works with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and related concerns using an integrative approach. She describes her practice as integrative and transpersonal, drawing on multiple psychotherapy methods to support people facing life changes, relationship strain, grief and mental distress. Sam is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has nine years' experience.
Sam uses practical talking methods and focused exercises rather than technical jargon. Sessions typically involve exploring current difficulties, identifying patterns that keep problems going, and practising ways to manage strong emotions and impulsive behaviour. She also pays attention to relational issues, attachment patterns and how early experiences can affect adult life.
Her background includes work with addiction, trauma and abuse, autism and ADHD related coping, and a range of intimacy and relationship concerns. She also addresses bereavement, career disruption, parenting strain, sleep and eating difficulties, chronic illness and caregiver stress. Sam lists approaches such as acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioural strategies and dialectical behaviour techniques among the methods she uses.
Sam describes her style as collaborative and responsive. She helps people set practical goals, try behavioural skills between sessions, and reflect on what matters to them. Her practice aims to combine emotional understanding with clear tools for day-to-day life.
Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and are managed through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, use the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How Sam uses therapeutic approaches in online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, and to choose actions that reflect their values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses practical exercises and experiments to change unhelpful patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and can help with intimacy problems, family conflict and long-standing trust issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sam will discuss your goals and preferences and help decide which methods to try. The choice of approach can change as therapy progresses, with practical skills and reflective work used alongside each other.
