About Amanda
Amanda Blok is a counsellor who draws on a client-centred approach to help people facing stress and anxiety. She makes space for honest conversation and listens closely to what matters to each person. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping people feel understood and beginning to make small changes.
With 15 years of experience working in the United Kingdom, Amanda has supported people through relationship tension, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar issues. She also helps with practical life pressures like career stress, money worries and coping with major life changes. Anxiety and panic-related concerns are part of the issues she regularly addresses.
Amanda pays attention to how past attachment and abandonment experiences can shape current relationships and emotions. She often works on communication problems, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation or jealousy. Her work includes supporting people navigating LGBT matters and multicultural concerns.
In sessions she focuses on listening, reflecting and helping people find their own solutions at a comfortable pace. The first meetings are used to understand what someone needs and to agree on simple goals together. Progress is usually practical and paced to fit into everyday life.
People who contact Amanda usually start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then arranging sessions. Her practice uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and she accepts clients from outside the UK who wish to work in English.
How client-centred work adapts to online therapy
Amanda uses a client-centred approach that focuses on listening and understanding each person. This way of working helps when the main need is to be heard, to make sense of feelings, and to decide on small practical steps forward. It is well suited to anxiety, stress and relationship concerns where talking and reflection are central.Client-centred work supports exploring how past attachment and abandonment experiences affect present life. Sessions often involve gentle reflection, clarifying emotions and building manageable goals. These elements translate readily to online formats while keeping the pace guided by the person in front of the counsellor.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss what feels helpful, consider goals and try methods that match a person’s needs and preferences. That means sessions can change over time as clarity grows and different tasks are tried.

Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time and make it easier to attend short check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can explain which practical arrangements will work best for each person.
