Sam Agnew, BACP

Sam Agnew is an integrative transpersonal psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with nine years of professional experience. She combines practical psychotherapeutic techniques with a wider transpersonal perspective that attends to emotional, relational, and existential dimensions of experience, tailoring support to each person rather than relying on a single method.

Sam works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, relationship and family difficulties, ADHD, LGBT matters, grief, eating and sleeping problems, parenting challenges, self-esteem and mood disorders such as depression and bipolar. Her practice also addresses more specific issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties, autism and Asperger syndrome, codependency, chronic illness and caregiver stress, intimacy-related concerns, and complications arising from blended families or adoption and foster care dynamics.

She approaches therapy with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, shaping the therapeutic dialogue and treatment plan from an integrative training background so that interventions reflect each client’s unique needs and goals. Sam holds accreditation with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and welcomes international clients seeking flexible support.

Integrative approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when unpleasant thoughts or feelings arise. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and difficulties with motivation and coping when life changes feel overwhelming.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on the ways early relationships shape current patterns of relating. It can be helpful for people working through abandonment, attachment issues, relationship conflict, and family dynamics by building more secure and connected ways of interacting.

Client-Centered Therapy centers on empathetic listening, nonjudgmental acceptance, and collaboration so clients find their own pace and direction for change. This approach supports self-exploration, self-esteem, and personal growth across a range of life challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sam works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts the approach as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to access support from different locations. Licensed professionals can use these options to maintain continuity of care and to tailor session formats to what works best for each client.
