About Amanda

Amanda Blok is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to help people navigate hard times. She draws on 15 years of experience working with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and trauma. Amanda aims to make conversations straightforward and calm, so people can speak openly about what matters to them.

She creates a non-judgemental space for discussing painful experiences, including abuse and loss. Amanda pays attention to how attachment and abandonment issues affect current relationships.

Background and approach

She also helps with anger, mood swings, and the practical strain of caregiver roles. Her work includes supporting people facing major life changes, career dilemmas, and financial stress. She listens for patterns such as control issues, communication breakdowns, isolation and jealousy.

This helps identify small, realistic changes a person can try between sessions. Amanda is comfortable discussing concerns common in LGBT communities and can talk about eating difficulties, bipolar mood challenges, and ADHD-related struggles. She combines steady listening with gentle questioning to help people see options and make decisions that fit their lives.

Clients can expect sessions that focus on their goals and pace. Amanda is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and works with people across the United Kingdom and internationally. She offers several ways to meet, so therapy can fit around daily routines.

Ways of working Amanda names

Client-Centred Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Client-centred care online and what it looks like

A client-centred approach focuses on listening, empathy and helping the person lead the conversation. The counsellor offers warm, non-judgemental listening and reflects what they hear back. This style helps when someone feels overwhelmed by anxiety, low mood, relationship problems or past trauma because it places the person's experience at the centre.

In practice, Amanda uses the same client-centred principles in remote sessions. She helps people name their concerns, notice patterns such as attachment or control issues, and decide on small, manageable steps to try between sessions. The process is collaborative and evolves to match each person's needs and goals rather than following a strict formula.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a shorter break. Live chat or messaging works well for brief check-ins, reflective writing or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care and fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
