Amaris Raiana , BACP

Amaris Raiana helps people make sense of their emotions, relationships and life changes in a direct, nonjudgmental way. She specialises in relationship and intimacy work, bringing focused experience in sexual wellbeing, communication difficulties and the sense that something important has become out of reach physically or emotionally.

She works with both individuals and couples who feel stuck, disconnected or overwhelmed, exploring the underlying patterns that maintain distress and identifying practical, manageable steps forward. Amaris blends evidence-based therapeutic techniques with a warm, honest and down-to-earth manner, creating a space where difficult topics can be named and understood without pressure.

Her approach is collaborative - she meets people where they are and walks alongside them as they build new ways of relating to themselves and others. Amaris also offers support for a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, addiction, LGBT issues, career concerns and attention-related difficulties.

She holds the BACP credential - a membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects a commitment to professional standards and ongoing development.

Evidence-based relationship and trauma-focused support online

Amaris draws on evidence-based techniques that focus on relationships and intimacy - practical interventions that help couples and individuals improve communication, restore connection and address sexual wellbeing concerns. These approaches emphasise clearer dialogue, safer emotional expression and strategies to rebuild closeness or redefine relationships in ways that feel authentic.

She also integrates trauma-informed methods that prioritise safety, pacing and coping skills. This work supports people dealing with past abuse or overwhelming experiences by helping them understand triggers, develop stabilising tools and work gradually toward processing painful material.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Amaris collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and she adjusts the pace and focus as therapy unfolds in partnership with the client and other licensed professionals when appropriate.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility - video calls and phone work support deeper therapeutic conversations, while live chat and text-based messaging provide timely check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to access consistent care around work, family and daily life commitments.
