Amaris Raiana , BACP

Amaris Raiana is a therapist who helps people make sense of their lives, relationships and inner emotional world without judgment or pressure. She brings specialist training and experience in relationship, intimacy and sexual wellbeing, supporting clients when communication breaks down, physical or emotional intimacy feels out of reach, or when something simply does not feel right.

She works with both individuals and couples who feel stuck, disconnected or overwhelmed, exploring the underlying patterns and emotions that contribute to their difficulties. Through practical, manageable steps she supports clients in finding ways forward that feel authentic and realistic for their lives.

Her manner is warm, honest and down to earth, meeting people where they are and walking alongside them through change. She is affiliated with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - a UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. Amaris applies evidence-based therapeutic techniques to areas including stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, coping with life changes, addictions, grief, parenting and a range of other emotional and relational difficulties.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Support

Amaris uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to relationship and intimacy work, focusing on communication patterns, emotional connection and sexual wellbeing. These approaches help couples and individuals improve how they relate to each other, rebuild closeness and address blocking patterns that affect intimacy and partnership.

She also applies trauma-informed methods that attend to the ways past hurt and abuse can shape current reactions, helping clients process difficult experiences and reduce their impact on daily life. These methods are designed to be paced to each person’s readiness and needs.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Amaris works collaboratively with clients to identify which techniques best match their goals, preferences and circumstances. She adapts interventions over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging - make it easier to access consistent care around work, family and other commitments. These formats provide flexibility and convenience while allowing licensed professionals to deliver focused support for stress, anxiety, relationship concerns and other issues from wherever the client is located within the therapist’s service area.
