Amanda Blok

Amanda Blok offers warm, client-centred counselling that focuses on what matters to each person. She welcomes plain talk about stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and other life changes. Amanda uses a calm, listening approach to help people find clearer ways to cope and move forward.

She has 15 years of experience working in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation. Amanda aims to make the first step easier by creating a space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about without judgement. Sessions are grounded in real life and practical needs rather than jargon.

In sessions she listens closely and follows what matters most to the client. That might mean focusing on current stress, working through grief, untangling relationship issues, or finding tools for mood and anxiety management. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, bipolar mood concerns and identity or multicultural questions.

Amanda pays attention to how attachment, abandonment and control issues shape relationships and day-to-day coping. She also addresses money worries, career stress and the strain of caregiving. Divorce and separation are included among the topics she helps people navigate.

The aim is honest, steady work rather than quick fixes. Amanda helps clients set small, practical goals and notices the changes that follow. If you are unsure what to expect, she can help you clarify what would feel most useful before you book.

How client-centred work translates to online therapy

Amanda's main approach is Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening, acceptance and following the client's priorities. This style helps when people need to make sense of relationship stress, grief, anxiety or big life changes because the counsellor centres the conversation on what the person most wants to address.

The emphasis is on clear, compassionate listening rather than on techniques alone. That approach can help people feel heard and then take small steps towards practical goals, such as managing anxiety, improving communication or navigating separation and divorce challenges.

Finding the right method is a joint process. Amanda will work with each person to decide what feels most helpful, adjusting the pace and focus as needs and goals become clearer. The collaboration helps shape whether sessions concentrate on feelings, problem-solving or a mix of both.

Confirm the exact session options before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people join sessions from different locations and can help maintain continuity when life circumstances change.
