Sam Agnew, BACP

Sam Agnew is a counsellor with BACP accreditation and nine years of practice in the United Kingdom. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions and trauma. Sam also supports people facing career change, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, parenting strain and challenges linked to ADHD and neurodiversity.

Her background includes work with a wide range of complex issues such as bipolar disorder, eating and sleeping problems, chronic illness and caregiver stress. She also gives attention to less commonly named concerns like abandonment, attachment difficulties, adoption and foster care histories, and alternative sex culture matters. This breadth shapes how she sees each person as a whole, not just a label.

Sam uses a mix of therapeutic approaches and adapts them to the person in front of her. That means sessions are shaped around what the individual finds useful - practical skills, emotion-focused work or values-led behaviour change. She aims for straightforward, respectful dialogue rather than jargon or one-size-fits-all plans.

People who come to Sam can expect help with setting goals, managing difficult feelings and rebuilding routines after loss or major life change. She combines talking therapy with practical strategies people can use between sessions. Her style stresses compassion alongside clear tools for coping.

To begin, clients follow a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to Sam's availability. The therapy subscription can be cancelled at any time, and sessions are arranged through the service's booking process.

How Sam's approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on identifying personal values and taking small steps that align with those values while learning to tolerate difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns coming from early relationships and uses that understanding to change how people relate in close bonds and manage intense emotion. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the centre, offering a non-judgemental space where the counsellor follows the client's pace and priorities.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sam will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs and goals. She aims to adapt the plan as understanding grows, combining learning, emotional processing and practical strategies in partnership with the client.

Session arrangements are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy around daily life, for example by saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day, or making it easier to join sessions when away from home. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors like Sam, can use online meeting styles to focus on skill-building, values-led change and emotion work in ways that fit everyday schedules.
