About Amanda
Amanda Blok is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has 15 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship and family difficulties, anger, trauma and abuse, and other life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Amanda accepts international clients.
She uses a Client-Centred Therapy approach. That means she focuses on listening carefully and helping people speak about what matters to them. Conversations tend to be practical and down-to-earth, with attention to how feelings and reactions show up in daily life.
Amanda helps people untangle stuck patterns such as repeated anger, control issues, or communication breakdowns. She also supports those dealing with abandonment, attachment questions, caregiver stress, guilt and shame, or grief. Discussion can cover practical steps as well as emotional understanding.
Her work often centres on building clearer self-awareness and finding ways to respond differently when stress or strong feelings arise. She offers time to talk through upsetting incidents and to notice the small shifts that reduce tension over time. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on the client's immediate concerns.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
How Amanda uses Client-Centred practice online
Amanda works from a Client-Centred Therapy perspective, which means she gives space for clients to talk and helps them find their own understanding of difficult feelings. This approach can help with anger, relationship strain, anxiety and grief by focusing on what the person wants to explore and change.In practice this looks like open conversation and reflective listening. The therapist helps identify patterns and reactions and supports people to try small, practical steps between sessions. The process is collaborative - Amanda will discuss what feels most useful and adapt the pace and focus according to the client's needs and goals.
Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they fit more easily into daily life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Others prefer longer conversations that resemble a face-to-face appointment. Amanda and the client will agree on what works best for scheduling, the length of sessions and how to manage practical details.
