About Amaris
Amaris Raiana helps people who feel stuck, disconnected or overwhelmed in their relationships and everyday life. She writes plainly and listens without judgement, aiming to make complex feelings easier to understand. Her warm, down-to-earth manner is steady and straightforward, and she focuses on practical next steps that clients can use between sessions.
Amaris has seven years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Background and approach
She has particular experience in relationship and intimacy matters, including sexual wellbeing and communication problems. This can include situations where intimacy feels out of reach or where physical or emotional needs aren’t being met. Beyond intimacy, she supports people with stress, anxiety and depression, grief, sleeping and eating difficulties, and coping with life changes.
She also works with issues such as addiction, compassion fatigue, ADHD, self-esteem and career concerns. Additional focuses include attachment and abandonment, family of origin issues, and fertility and fatherhood concerns. Amaris is comfortable talking about less commonly discussed areas such as BDSM, kink and alternative sex culture, codependency, control issues and commitment worries.
Her approach is collaborative - she helps people understand what’s under the surface and finds manageable ways forward. Sessions are offered in English and take place online for people based in the United Kingdom. She aims to offer a practical, compassionate space where clients can explore difficult feelings and make realistic changes.

Online support
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through your concerns, goals and preferences and suggest routes to try. Together you can test what feels most useful and adjust the plan as you go along.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing coaching-style support or people who prefer writing. These options aim to make therapy flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
