About Amanda
Amanda Blok works from a client-centred approach, focusing on listening and supporting each person’s own goals. She offers calm, non-judgemental sessions where clients can talk through stress, anxiety, relationship concerns and trauma. Amanda uses straightforward conversation to help people find practical ways to cope and move forward.
She brings 15 years of experience in the UK mental health field and is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Over her career she has supported people facing depression, grief, anger and eating-related concerns, and those managing mood disorders and bipolar difficulties. She also helps people navigating career strain, money worries and life transitions.
Amanda pays attention to how attachment, abandonment and communication patterns affect everyday relationships. She works with clients on issues such as caregiver stress, jealousy, control problems and the fallout from divorce or separation. Cultural background and multicultural concerns are considered in sessions.
Her style is practical and person-led. Sessions are an opportunity to name what matters, try small changes and review what helps. Amanda encourages realistic steps that fit into busy lives and workplaces.
People come to her for support with coping strategies, exploring life purpose and resolving guilt or shame. She welcomes conversations about identity and LGBT concerns and will tailor the pace and focus to each person’s needs.
Client-centred work and what online therapy can offer
A client-centred approach focuses on the person rather than the problem. The therapist listens closely, mirrors what is said and helps clients make sense of their thoughts and feelings. This way of working is useful for stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties and exploring identity or grief.Because Amanda emphasises a collaborative process, she will help you decide which methods fit best for your goals. Together you can try approaches that feel comfortable and adjust pace, topics and practical tasks as you go. Finding the right fit is part of the work, not a one-time decision.
If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking as formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into workdays, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow people to speak with registered or accredited professionals from different places, which can expand choice and convenience without changing the day-to-day focus of therapy.
