Sam Agnew, BACP

Her work touches on relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strains, career pressures and challenges linked to autism or ADHD. Her approach combines elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques and skills from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. This mix is adapted to what each person needs rather than following a fixed formula.

Sessions focus on practical steps, noticing patterns, and building coping skills that fit real life. Sam has a BACP credential, which is stated as part of her professional profile. She also draws on broader transpersonal perspectives when clients want to explore meaning, identity or spiritual questions alongside everyday problems.

Therapy conversations are collaborative and paced to the individual. People who choose Sam can expect clear explanations, active listening and help making small changes that add up. The aim is to support healthier coping, better relationships with self and others, and more confidence managing life changes.

Background and approach: Sam tailors her work to each person’s concerns and goals. She blends talking therapy with practical exercises and simple behavioural strategies. With issues like trauma, addiction or sleep and eating difficulties she looks at patterns that keep problems going and at ways to interrupt them.

When attachment or intimacy problems surface she explores how early relationships shape current ways of relating and what can be different now. For those who want coaching-style support, Sam helps set manageable goals and tracks progress. Her style is grounded, compassionate and focused on helping people find solutions that fit their daily lives.
