About Amanda

Amanda Blok draws on a client-centred approach to help people find clearer ways forward. She is Amanda Blok, a counsellor who has worked in the UK for 15 years and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Amanda concentrates on stress and anxiety, low mood and trauma.

She also supports people dealing with relationship or family difficulties. Other areas she works with include grief, eating concerns, anger and coping with life changes.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on creating a straightforward, non-judgemental space. Amanda listens and reflects so people can make sense of difficult feelings. The emphasis is on understanding the person as a whole rather than on labels alone.

She helps people spot patterns that get in the way and then try different ways to relate and respond. That can mean talking through attachment or abandonment worries, addressing communication problems, or managing control and trust issues. Practical steps and small experiments are encouraged between sessions.

Amanda is comfortable supporting people with multicultural or LGBT concerns and with mood disorders such as bipolar. She also works with career and money stresses, caregiver strain and other life pressures. Her style is steady and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people build more manageable day-to-day routines.

Client-centred support online and how it helps

Amanda uses client-centred therapy, which means sessions focus on listening and understanding each person’s experience. The approach helps when someone needs to process difficult feelings, rebuild self-trust after trauma or make sense of relationship and family problems. It is practical and paced according to the person rather than following a rigid plan.

The right therapeutic approach is often found together. Amanda will discuss your needs and goals in early sessions and adjust the way you work to match what helps most. That collaborative planning means the method can change over time as priorities shift.

Online therapy here is offered by registered or accredited professionals and is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for deeper conversations and reading non-verbal cues, while phone work can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or for people who prefer not to be on camera. These options allow therapy to fit around work, caregiving or travel commitments and make regular contact more practical.
