Amaris Raiana, BACP

Amaris Raiana is a therapist who helps people bring clarity to the challenges in their lives, relationships and emotional world without judgment or pressure. She draws on specialist training and experience in relationship, intimacy and sexual wellbeing to support clients through issues such as communication breakdown, a sense of intimacy feeling out of reach, or when something does not feel right physically or emotionally.

She works with both individuals and couples who feel stuck, disconnected or overwhelmed in other parts of life, exploring the patterns beneath those feelings and developing practical, manageable steps forward. Amaris aims to create a warm, honest and down-to-earth space where clients are met where they are and supported as they work toward change.

Amaris holds BACP, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. She offers collaborative support for complex personal and relational concerns, including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, coping with life changes, addictions, grief and a wide range of other areas.

Evidence-based approaches and online access

Amaris uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that combine practical skill-building with deeper exploration of emotions and relationship patterns. One strand focuses on skills and strategies that help clients manage stress, anxiety and daily functioning - teaching concrete tools for coping, communication and emotional regulation. Another strand centers on exploring attachment and relational dynamics to address patterns in intimacy, commitment and family relationships, helping clients understand what lies beneath repeated difficulties and how to shift them.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Amaris works collaboratively with each person or couple to identify goals, try techniques and adjust the plan based on what resonates and what produces progress, so the work fits the client’s needs, values and preferences.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people with different schedules, mobility or geographic constraints. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into a busy life and access support from a licensed professional without the need to travel.
