Sam Agnew , BACP

Sam Agnew uses an integrative, person-focused way of working that draws on practical therapies to help people feel steadier. She combines clear skills with reflective conversation so clients can manage stress, anxiety, addiction and life changes. Sam is based in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation.

Sam meets people where they are and works on everyday problems in straightforward language. Sessions often focus on building coping skills, understanding patterns that repeat in relationships, and reducing symptoms that interfere with daily life. She also helps with issues such as grief, low self-esteem, sleep difficulties and career concerns.

Her approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with cognitive and relational methods. That means clients learn to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while also taking practical steps that match their values. The work can include skill-building from cognitive behavioural therapy and emotion regulation tools from dialectical behaviour therapy.

Sam has nine years of professional experience and draws on broad clinical influences to tailor the work. She is used to supporting people through trauma, addictions and long-term health challenges. Sam also offers guidance around parenting strains, intimacy-related worries and identity issues such as LGBT matters.

People often come to Sam wanting clearer choices and steadier day-to-day coping. She aims to create a calm, respectful space for honest conversation and focused change. Practical tools are paired with an emphasis on what matters most to each person.

Therapeutic approaches and online delivery

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, while guiding action toward what matters most. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing practical changes to reduce symptoms such as anxiety or sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current bonds and helps people build healthier ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your concerns and goals and then agree on techniques to try together. This collaborative process allows adjustments over time so the therapy fits your needs and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let you use visual cues and longer sessions, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit brief check-ins or people who prefer typing. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family or health demands and to keep regular contact between sessions when useful.
