Amanda Blok, BACP

Amanda Blok offers a warm, client-centred way of working for people feeling overwhelmed by life changes, anxiety or relationship strain. She creates space for honest conversation and helps people make sense of painful feelings. Amanda presents herself as a steady presence for those ready to try talking things through.

She has 15 years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Amanda often helps with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma and abuse. She also supports people struggling with relationship and family concerns, eating issues, anger and mood difficulties.

Her work is grounded in client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people find their own solutions. Sessions aim to be straightforward and collaborative rather than prescriptive. Amanda pays attention to attachment and abandonment concerns when these come up in people’s stories.

Practical issues such as career stress, money worries and the strain of caregiving are all within her focus. She also addresses concerns around identity and LGBT matters, along with ADHD and bipolar mood issues when they affect daily life. Cultural and multicultural difficulties are part of her awareness.

People who come to Amanda can expect a calm, non-judgemental style and a focus on what matters most to them. She encourages small, manageable steps and ongoing reflection between sessions. If you want to explore whether she might be a fit, the next step is to request a meeting through the site.

How client-centred therapy works online

Amanda practises client-centred therapy, which focuses on providing attentive, non-judgemental listening and helping people discover their own solutions. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, relationship concerns and many forms of life stress because it prioritises the person’s experience and pace.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and suggest how client-centred work might help. Together you can adjust the way you work as the sessions progress to suit what feels most helpful.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions more easily around work or caregiving, reducing travel time and making it simpler to maintain regular contact. If you prefer a shorter check-in or to avoid being on camera, mention that when arranging sessions. The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm the available formats before booking to ensure they meet your needs.
