About Sam Agnew
Sam Agnew is a London-based, integrative transpersonal psychotherapist with BACP accreditation and nine years of professional experience. She blends a broad range of therapeutic traditions to tailor treatment to each person's needs, working from the understanding that growth often involves attending to emotional, relational, and deeper existential levels of the self. Her training and practice support people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, and a wide spectrum of life challenges including grief, relationship and family conflict, career difficulties, and coping with major life changes.
Sam has particular experience with neurodiversity and developmental concerns such as autism and ADHD, as well as complex presentations related to early life trauma, PTSD, and emotional neglect. She also supports clients with sexuality and intimacy issues, LGBTQIA-related concerns, eating and sleeping problems, caregiver stress, and difficulties connected to attachment, abandonment, adoption and foster care. Her approach is informed by methods that include ACT, attachment-based work, client-centered principles, CBT, and DBT, which she integrates to meet the person in front of her rather than applying a single model.
Sam emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in clinical work and frames the therapeutic journey as a collaborative process. She offers guidance, information, and steady support as individuals take the often courageous steps toward clearer self-understanding and a more balanced life.

Approach-Based Online Therapy with Flexible Access
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and develop practical skills to act in line with those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings - it is often useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns formed in early relationships and explores how they influence current connections and intimacy, making it helpful for relationship, family, and abandonment issues. Client-Centered Therapy places the person's experience at the core of sessions, offering empathetic, nonjudgmental support to foster self-acceptance and personal growth, which can benefit grief, self-esteem, and identity work.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Sam works with clients to identify which methods feel most useful for their goals and tailors the plan to fit individual needs, preferences, and the pace that feels comfortable.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - so people can connect from home or work and choose formats that suit their schedules and communication style. This range of options supports continuity of care and makes it easier to engage consistently with the therapeutic work.
