About Sam
Sam Agnew is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation which indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she brings nine years of professional experience to her work. Sam focuses on sleep and rest alongside many other concerns, and she aims to help people find clearer routines and calmer nights.
Her approach is integrative and client-centred. She adapts conversations and techniques to each person rather than following one fixed method. That means practical steps, short experiments between sessions, and attention to how daytime stress affects sleep at night.
Sam uses a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. She draws on these methods to help people manage anxiety, trauma, addictions, mood changes and relationship strain. Sessions often focus on small, manageable changes that build over time.
She also works with issues around identity, parenting pressures, grief and long-term health conditions. The work can include tackling unhelpful thinking, building emotional skills, and repairing ways of connecting with others. Sam emphasises sensitivity and respect in every conversation.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then choose a suitable time for sessions. She accepts clients from outside the UK and conducts therapy in English.
How Sam uses therapy approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, sleep disruption and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns like insomnia, panic or low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current emotional needs and helps people build steadier ways of relating that can improve rest and intimacy.Finding the right approach is part of the process and Sam treats this as a team effort. She will talk with clients about their goals, try different methods where needed, and adapt plans as progress is made. That collaborative stance helps match techniques to the person’s life and sleep goals.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm the session types before booking. Online work can make it simpler to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and let people join from a quiet room that suits them. Many people find that regular online sessions make it easier to practise sleep routines and daytime coping skills in real life while discussing changes with their counsellor.
