About Amanda

Amanda Blok is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has 15 years of experience. She works with people on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression and related mood issues. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.

Amanda uses client-centred therapy as her main approach. That means she focuses on listening without judgement and following what each person brings to the session. She helps people talk through feelings, clarify what matters to them, and decide on practical next steps.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns beyond the headline topics. This includes issues such as abandonment, attachment problems, caregiver stress, communication breakdowns, control issues, divorce and separation, and persistent guilt or shame. Amanda also supports people facing grief, eating difficulties, anger, bipolar and ADHD related challenges.

Sessions often involve talking about recent events, patterns in relationships, and unhelpful cycles that keep problems going. She aims to help clients notice options and practise different ways of relating and coping. Sessions can also include setting small, manageable goals between meetings.

People who seek her help are encouraged to be direct about what they want from therapy. The first meeting is used to get a clear sense of the problem and agree practical next steps. To begin, a short questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled through the online booking flow.

Client-centred approaches and remote sessions

A client-centred approach focuses on the person in the room. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said, and follows the client’s priorities. This style is often used for issues like anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and general life changes because it helps people feel heard and clarify what they want to change.

The main aim in early sessions is to agree together what to work on. The therapist will help assess needs, goals and preferences, and will suggest ways of working that fit the client. This is a collaborative process and the chosen approach can be reviewed as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when a quick conversation is helpful. Some people choose remote sessions to keep appointments manageable around work or caring responsibilities. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt the pace and structure to suit individual circumstances, including arranging longer or shorter meetings as needed.
