About Sam Agnew

Sam Agnew is an integrative transpersonal psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with nine years of professional experience. She works with clients across a wide range of concerns, including stress and anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, ADHD, relationship and family difficulties, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting challenges, and mood conditions such as bipolar disorder and depression. Her practice also addresses career concerns, compassion fatigue, self-esteem, anger, and the process of coping with life changes.

In addition to those core specialties, Sam gives attention to areas such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric issues, attachment difficulties, autism and Asperger syndrome, personality-related challenges, BDSM and kink culture, blended family dynamics, body image, caregiving stress, chronic pain and illness, codependency, and co-morbid presentations. She aims to tailor support to the complex mix of practical, emotional, relational, and developmental issues people bring.

Sam describes her approach as integrative and transpersonal, meaning she attends to multiple levels of the self with the aim of helping people move toward greater wellbeing and potential. She draws on a broad range of clinical methods - for example Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), somatic and trauma-focused therapies, Internal Family Systems, and other psychodynamic, narrative, and mindfulness-based approaches - and adapts techniques to suit each person’s needs. Sam values sensitivity, respect, and compassion in the therapeutic relationship and focuses on collaborative, individualized planning.

She is a member of BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and combines professional training with a person-centered attitude. Sam emphasizes that taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life takes courage, and she aims to inform, guide, and support people through that process.
