About Sam
Sam Agnew is a counsellor who uses an integrative, person-centred approach to help people untangle difficult patterns. She combines conversational therapy with practical tools so people can manage stress, anxiety, addiction and relationship struggles in everyday life.
Sam holds BACP registration, which means she meets the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy's standards. She has nine years of experience working with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, grief, ADHD and issues linked to identity such as LGBT matters. She also supports people facing codependency and related attachment difficulties.
Her sessions are straightforward and down to earth. She listens first, then helps people spot patterns that keep them stuck. Practical strategies from cognitive behavioural ideas are offered alongside approaches that explore attachment and personal values.
Sam describes her style as respectful and compassionate. She adapts the pace to what each person needs and works collaboratively on goals like better sleep, healthier boundaries or managing urges and cravings.
People who come to Sam often want help with coping after trauma, improving intimacy and relationships, or finding ways to balance work and family pressures. Her background includes work with addiction, mood disorders and complex loss, so she is used to supporting people through messy, painful life changes.
How Sam's approaches translate to online therapy
Sam draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy as core ways of working online. ACT helps people notice what matters to them and take small, value-led steps even when feelings are uncomfortable; it can help with anxiety, depression and problems like codependency. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early patterns in relationships and how they show up now, which is useful for intimacy issues and recurrent relationship stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and together you will try ways of working that match your needs. That collaborative process shapes the plan rather than following one fixed method.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm which options are available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when a full hour isn't needed. They also let people keep a steady rhythm of appointments while managing work, caring responsibilities or mobility challenges.
