About Amaris
Amaris Raiana helps people untangle difficult feelings and relationship problems in a calm, non-judgemental way. She meets people where they are and aims to create simple, practical steps that feel doable. Her style is warm, honest and down to earth, so conversations stay straightforward and focused on what matters right now.
She has seven years' experience as a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom. That background supports work with stress, anxiety, depression and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
She also offers support around intimacy and sexual wellbeing when communication has broken down or physical or emotional connection feels out of reach. Amaris works with people facing trauma, grieving losses, or managing addiction and compassion fatigue. She also helps those dealing with family-of-origin problems, parenting strain, fertility concerns and career pressure.
Her additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, and relationship control or commitment problems. She is familiar with kink, BDSM and alternative sex cultures and can discuss how these intersect with relationships and wellbeing without judgement. She also supports people living with ADHD who want practical strategies for everyday life.
Sessions are conducted in English in the United Kingdom. When someone first reaches out, Amaris will listen to what feels most pressing and help set short-term goals. She aims to find approaches that fit a person's life and to build steps that can be tested between meetings.

How therapeutic approaches can work online
Many clients benefit from straightforward, evidence-based techniques that focus on relationships, emotions and everyday coping. One common option is a relational approach that looks at how patterns of communication and attachment shape interactions and intimacy. This helps when people feel disconnected or when repeated arguments keep happening. Another often-used option is skills-based work that teaches practical strategies for managing anxiety, improving sleep, or handling emotional overwhelm. These are short, actionable tools to use between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they will try an approach and adjust it if needed so sessions fit the person's needs and pace. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.
Please confirm which session formats are available before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or travel, and it can reduce time spent commuting. Phone calls can be useful for a shorter check-in, while video sessions allow for face-to-face conversation when that helps. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework to suit remote meetings so progress continues between appointments.
