Sam Agnew, BACP

Sam Agnew is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with nine years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, career pressures, ADHD, LGBT matters, relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, anger, and mood disorders such as bipolar and depression.

Sam describes her practice as integrative, drawing on several evidence-based approaches to match what a person needs at the time. In sessions she focuses on practical skills and honest conversation. That can look like learning new ways to notice urges, practising grounding and emotional regulation, or testing small behaviour changes between meetings.

Her approach pulls from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Attachment-Based work and Client-Centred therapy. These methods are used to address things like persistent anger, coping with trauma, addictive behaviours, and difficulties with relationships or self-worth.

Sam has experience helping people navigate complex situations such as adoption and foster care histories, attachment and abandonment issues, neurodiversity including autism, chronic health conditions, and caregiving stress. She also supports people handling sexual expression and kink-related concerns without judgement.

Her tone in sessions is direct and practical. She helps people set clear goals, try manageable changes, and reflect on what works. To begin, she asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.
