About Amaris

Amaris Raiana is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with seven years' experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, anger, trauma and other emotional struggles. She also supports those facing life changes, addiction issues, grief and career strain.

Amaris focuses on helping people make sense of what is happening in their life and relationships. She pays attention to how feelings show up in day-to-day behaviour and in close relationships. This includes communication that has broken down, intimacy that feels out of reach, or a general sense that something is not working emotionally or physically.

Sessions look at what lies beneath the immediate problem. Amaris explores patterns such as attachment, avoidance, or control issues and how these affect interactions with others. She works with topics including abandonment, family of origin problems, codependency and commitment difficulties.

She also supports people navigating sexuality and relationship diversity, including BDSM, kink and alternative sex cultures, and the strain that can come from caregiving, fertility worries or fatherhood questions. Practical steps and clearer communication are common parts of the work.

Amaris describes her style as honest and down to earth. She aims to keep things straightforward and manageable so people can try changes in their day-to-day life. To begin, clients follow the site process to match and book an initial session.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Amaris uses evidence-based techniques that focus on relationships and patterns of feeling. One common strand looks at attachment and how early relationship patterns show up now. This can help when communication breaks down or when anger and distance build between people. Another strand addresses intimacy and sexual wellbeing by clarifying needs and improving practical communication skills for partners or individuals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amaris treats this as a collaborative process where therapist and client test what helps most. They will review goals, try small changes, and adjust methods based on what feels useful and doable for the client.

Confirm current session options before booking because formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a workday. Different ways of meeting can suit different tasks - a fuller session for deeper exploration or a shorter call for practical problem-solving - and Amaris will help decide what fits the client’s schedule and needs.
