About Amanda
BACP. 15 years' experience. Amanda Blok works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationships, family matters, trauma and abuse, and mood concerns including depression and bipolar. She also supports people facing grief, eating issues, anger, career decisions, ADHD and identity concerns including LGBT matters. Amanda practices in the United Kingdom and offers counselling in English.
Amanda uses Client-Centred Therapy and focuses on letting clients lead conversations about what matters most to them. Sessions are built around listening and reflecting so people can make sense of feelings and choices. The emphasis is on understanding personal experience rather than on delivering techniques alone.
She commonly helps people talk through attachment and abandonment worries, caregiver stress, communication and control issues, and the fallout of separation and divorce. Amanda also works with guilt, shame, isolation and jealousy, and with practical pressures such as money and work-related strain.
Her background across 15 years includes supporting people through major life changes and through complex mood or behavioural concerns. She describes her approach as open and non-judgemental, inviting honest discussion of difficult topics so clients can consider new options.
Sessions begin by identifying what the person wants to work on and then shaping ongoing counselling around those goals. Amanda accepts international clients, and sessions are conducted in English. Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling options.
Client-centred counselling and online working
Amanda uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on the person's own experience and on listening back what they say so choices become clearer. This approach can help with anxiety, relationship problems, grief and coping with life changes by emphasising personal understanding and reflection.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Amanda will discuss what feels helpful and adapt sessions based on the person's needs, goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and aims to identify ways of working that fit the individual's concerns.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online counselling helpful because it can fit more easily around work and family commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online sessions can also make it simpler to continue support when circumstances change, and registered or accredited professionals can advise which format will suit practical needs and clinical goals.
