About Amanda
Amanda Blok is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 15 years of practice. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family concerns, trauma and abuse, and mood-related problems.
She uses a client-centred approach that keeps the conversation focused on the person's experience. Sessions are conversational and aim to let people talk through feelings and thoughts without judgement. The therapist listens for what matters most and follows the client's lead on what to explore next.
Amanda has worked across a range of issues linked to everyday family life. She helps people dealing with grief, anger, eating concerns, bipolar mood issues, ADHD, and problems around communication and attachment. She also addresses challenges such as abandonment, jealousy, guilt and shame, and the strain of caregiving.
People often come for help with life transitions and practical pressures. Amanda supports those facing career stress, money worries, divorce and separation, or a search for life purpose. She also works with multicultural concerns and issues that affect LGBT people.
Her style is straightforward and focused on what people need now. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then books a first session. The practice uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and international clients are accepted.
How sessions work
How client-centred work translates to online sessions
Amanda practises Client-Centred Therapy, which means sessions concentrate on the person's lived experience. The therapist listens, reflects what is said, and helps people make sense of their feelings. This approach suits worries such as anxiety, relationship and family strain, grief and mood problems. Working together to find the best approach is part of the process. The therapist and client discuss goals and preferences, and adjust how they work as the relationship grows. That collaboration helps pick which ways of working feel most useful for everyday problems. Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the original biography does not specify formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy family life. They can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a workday break, or avoid needing to be on camera when that feels difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt a client-centred method to suit how someone prefers to connect, and practical arrangements are agreed together at first contact.Areas of focus
