About Amanda
Amanda Blok offers a client-centred way of working that places the person at the heart of therapy. She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can speak openly about what is worrying them and begin to make changes at their own pace. Amanda uses simple, direct conversation to help clients understand feelings and options.
She has 15 years of experience working in the United Kingdom and has supported people through stress, anxiety and depression.
Background and approach
Her work also includes help for those facing trauma and abuse, as well as people coping with grief and major life changes. Amanda supports people with relationship and family difficulties and with concerns around LGBT issues and eating problems. Additional areas she focuses on include anger, bipolar and ADHD related worries, plus struggles with abandonment, attachment and communication.
She also helps people dealing with caregiver stress, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, isolation and jealousy. Financial worries and questions about life purpose are part of her brief too. Amanda works from a client-centred framework that aims to understand each person's perspective.
Sessions are collaborative and paced according to each person's needs. She supports people to identify small, practical steps and new ways of coping. People who choose Amanda will meet a counsellor who listens, reflects and helps make sense of difficult feelings.
Taking the first step can feel hard, and her aim is to make that step clearer and more manageable.

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
How Amanda works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, goals and preferences, and together they will decide how to proceed. This collaborative process makes it easier to adapt sessions over time if priorities change.
The biography did not specify which online formats are offered, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people access a counsellor when local options are limited, while keeping the focus on practical, real-time conversation and making steady progress.
