Amanda Blok, BACP

Amanda Blok is a UK-licensed therapist with 15 years of professional experience, offering compassionate support to people facing a wide range of emotional and relational challenges. She holds the BACP credential - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which indicates ongoing professional standards and a commitment to ethical practice. Amanda works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, depression, LGBT concerns, grief, eating and anger difficulties, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and other life changes and mood concerns.

Her approach centers on creating an open, nonjudgmental space in which clients can explore thoughts and feelings freely. Amanda places emphasis on understanding attachment and abandonment concerns, communication and control issues, caregiver stress, and the effects of narcissism and isolation. She also supports people dealing with forgiveness, guilt and shame, career and money worries, and questions about life purpose.

Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life often requires courage, and Amanda provides steady, empathic support throughout that process. She collaborates with clients to set goals and tailor sessions to their needs, helping them build coping skills, strengthen relationships, and navigate difficult transitions. Amanda also accepts international clients and offers flexible online formats to fit varied schedules and locations.

Client-Centered Care and Online Therapy Options

Amanda practices client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening with empathy and helping each person lead the direction of their own process. This approach encourages self-exploration, supports emotional processing, and is often helpful for anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, and adjusting to life changes.

In sessions, Amanda emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental presence that aims to strengthen clients' self-understanding and coping skills. She works collaboratively to set goals and adapt methods to fit an individual’s needs and preferences - finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and is decided together with the client.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy lives or connect across time zones. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide consistent support and make ongoing therapy more accessible for people who need adaptable scheduling or cannot attend in-person appointments.
