About Amanda
Amanda Blok helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns using a client-centred approach. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and brings 15 years of professional experience in the field.
Amanda focuses on practical, conversation-based work. She listens to what matters most and reflects it back so people can make clearer choices. Sessions focus on thoughts, feelings and everyday behaviour, and on finding manageable steps forward.
She has worked with people affected by trauma and abuse, depression, grief, and mood-related issues such as bipolar. She also supports those coping with life changes, workplace stress, eating concerns, anger, and issues linked to identity including LGBT matters.
Amanda pays attention to interpersonal patterns such as attachment and abandonment worries, communication and control problems, jealousy, and the after-effects of separation and divorce. She also helps with caregiver stress, money and career concerns, and questions about life purpose.
Her client-centred way means she follows what the person brings and responds to it in the room. That can include exploring feelings, trying small behavioural changes, and reflecting on relationship patterns. Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical so people can use what they learn between meetings.
How Amanda uses client-centred work for remote counselling
Amanda uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and reflecting back what the person says. This approach helps people gain clarity about their feelings and make choices that fit their life. It is useful for anxiety, stress, relationship concerns and emotional difficulties.
The aim is collaborative. Amanda will work with the person to identify what they want to focus on and to agree how to proceed. They will review progress together and adjust the approach as needs and goals change.
The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, caregiving and travel. They also remove travel time and can allow shorter check-ins when that suits a person’s day. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use remote sessions to keep work practical and accessible.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
