Amaris Raiana, BACP

Amaris Raiana is a counsellor who helps people make sense of what feels tangled in their lives and relationships. She speaks without judgement and keeps things straightforward. Her approach suits people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or that something important is drifting away.

She has seven years of experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). That registration indicates professional standards she works to. Amaris offers calm, down-to-earth conversations rather than clinical jargon.

Amaris has a focus on relationship and intimacy concerns, including sexual wellbeing and communication breakdowns. She also supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, parenting strain, career questions, and issues around identity including LGBT matters. In sessions she looks for the patterns beneath the problem and helps clients find small, realistic steps forward.

Her style is warm and honest. She aims to meet people where they are and to walk alongside them as they try different ways of coping. Sessions are practical and conversational, with attention to emotions and to what can change day to day.

People often come for help with attachment and abandonment worries, codependency, commitment or control issues, and sexual or kink-related concerns. Amaris also supports clients dealing with fertility, fatherhood pressures, caregiver stress, or recovery after separation.

Approaches and online therapy that fit your life

Amaris works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on relationships and emotional patterns. One strand addresses attachment and abandonment concerns by helping people identify repeating relationship patterns and practise new ways of connecting. This can help when intimacy feels out of reach or communication keeps breaking down.

Another strand concentrates on practical coping skills for stress, anxiety and overwhelming emotions. This involves learning simple strategies to manage strong feelings, improve sleep and increase daily functioning so small improvements add up over time.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then try methods that feel sensible and workable. Together they review progress and adapt the work as needed rather than sticking to a single plan.

If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the session formats offered before you book. Many people find remote work easier to fit into a busy life, allowing sessions to happen without travel and to slot into a lunch break or between appointments. Online sessions can also make it simpler to keep momentum between meetings and to bring immediate, real-life changes into the conversation.
