About Amaris

Amaris Raiana is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years' experience. She works with adults who are facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy difficulties, and challenges in parenting and family life.

She often helps people who feel stuck, disconnected or overwhelmed. That might look like communication breaking down with a partner, intimacy feeling out of reach, or emotional patterns that keep repeating. She also supports those dealing with grief, addiction, sleeping or eating problems, and career or self-esteem concerns.

Her background includes focused work around relationship and sexual wellbeing. That work pays attention to how attachment, abandonment or family of origin issues shape current relationships. She also addresses specific areas such as fatherhood issues, fertility concerns, caregiver stress and codependency.

Sessions are straightforward and practical. Conversations look at what is happening now and what lies underneath. Together the client and therapist develop clear, manageable steps to try between sessions so progress feels steady rather than overwhelming.

Amaris uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques suited to the concern at hand. English-language sessions are offered in the United Kingdom. People should confirm the current session formats before booking.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Amaris uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address relationship and emotional difficulties. One common approach focuses on attachment and family of origin patterns; this helps people see how early relationships shape current reactions and connection styles. Another approach targets relationship and sexual wellbeing by addressing communication, intimacy barriers and practical changes that can improve closeness and sexual health.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Amaris will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences, and decide together which methods to try. The process is collaborative and adjusted as progress is reviewed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online work easier to fit around parenting, work and everyday life because it removes travel and can shorten the time needed to attend. Online sessions can also make it simpler to keep regular appointments during periods of change, allowing steady progress without major disruption.
