About Amanda

Amanda Blok offers a client-centred way of working that keeps the person at the heart of the process. She listens without judgement and helps people make sense of what they are feeling. Her approach aims to create a calm space where clients can speak freely about difficult issues and consider new choices.

She brings 15 years of experience supporting people with stress, anxiety and depression. Amanda also helps those coping with relationship and family tensions, trauma and abuse, and mood disorders. She works with concerns such as grief, anger, eating struggles, ADHD and career-related stress.

In sessions she focuses on building a trusting relationship and reflecting back what clients say. That practical, person-focused style makes it easier to spot patterns and try small changes. Conversations are guided by what matters most to the individual rather than a fixed agenda.

Amanda also pays attention to attachment and abandonment issues, communication difficulties and problems around control. She supports people facing separation, guilt, shame or isolation, and those wrestling with life purpose and multicultural issues.

Money and financial issues are listed among her additional focuses, so she can talk through money-related stress and its emotional impact as part of wider discussions about life changes and wellbeing. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.

Client-centred work and online therapy

A client-centred approach focuses on listening, empathy and helping people find their own answers. In practice this means the therapist reflects what the client says, asks gentle questions and supports people to notice patterns and choices. This style can help with anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties and life transitions.

The therapeutic relationship is central, and finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda will work with each person to identify goals and try different ways of working until a good fit is found. Discussions about methods and focus happen together rather than being decided in advance.

The practical benefits of online work can include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week. Online sessions can make shorter check-ins simpler and reduce travel time, which helps maintain consistency. The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use remote sessions to help clients balance therapy with everyday life.
