About Sam

Sam Agnew is a counsellor who uses hypnotherapy alongside talking therapy to help people make practical changes. She combines focused relaxation work with conversational approaches to address issues that feel stuck or overwhelming. Sam draws on nine years of experience working in mental health settings across the United Kingdom.

She holds BACP, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. That background informs her work and professional outlook.

Background and approach

In sessions she uses methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice thoughts and try new actions. Attachment-based and client-centred ideas shape how she pays attention to relationships and emotional needs. Hypnotherapy may be offered as part of a plan when it fits someone’s goals.

Sam commonly helps people with anxiety, stress and depression. She also supports those dealing with addiction, trauma and grief, and people facing life changes such as career shifts or caregiving strain. Other areas she works with include sleep and eating concerns, self-esteem, intimacy and relationship difficulties.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She will listen, ask practical questions, and suggest simple strategies to try between sessions. Sam aims to help people take small steps that add up to noticeable difference over time.

Online support

How Sam adapts hypnotherapy and talking therapies online

Sam combines hypnotherapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to offer both focused relaxation work and values-based action. Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and directed imagery that can help with habits, sleep and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and practise small actions that align with those values.

She also uses attachment-based and client-centred ideas to make sure the work pays attention to relationships and emotional safety. Sam treats deciding which methods to use as a shared task. She will talk through options, try techniques in session, and adjust the plan to match the client’s goals and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for longer talks and guided hypnotherapy, phone calls suit shorter check-ins and those with limited bandwidth, and messaging can support ongoing coaching-style contact between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and travel while keeping the therapeutic process consistent.
