Amaris Raiana
A practical, warm counsellor for relationship and life strain
About Amaris
Amaris Raiana helps people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure about their relationships and emotions. She aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can name what is hard and find manageable next steps. Her approach is practical and down to earth, suited to someone who wants honest support without pressure.
Raiana has seven years of experience and holds BACP registration from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Background and approach
She commonly sees issues such as stress and anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and problems with sleep or eating. She also works with sexual wellbeing, kink and BDSM related concerns, and matters like attachment and abandonment that affect how people connect.
Sessions often focus on improving communication, exploring patterns of behaviour, and building coping skills for life changes, addiction-related worries or career strain. She also supports people experiencing compassion fatigue, caregiver stress, codependency and challenges around fertility or fatherhood. Work can include short-term focused conversations or longer exploration depending on what a person needs.
Raiana offers talks that are warm, honest and straightforward. She aims to meet each person where they are and walk alongside them as they try things out. Conversations are collaborative and paced to what feels manageable for the individual.
Sessions are provided in English and are based in the United Kingdom. People can expect a practical style with attention to emotional safety and real-life solutions.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Evidence-based approaches are used to help people make sense of feelings and change unhelpful patterns. One common focus is improving attachment and relational patterns by looking at how early experiences shape current responses. This helps with intimacy issues, abandonment worries and communication problems by making those patterns easier to spot and gently change.An additional strand addresses trauma and stress with grounding and stabilising techniques that reduce intense reactions. These practical tools help people feel steadier and make clearer choices when memories or stress become overwhelming.
Choosing the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to a person’s goals, try things out, and adapt the approach based on what feels most useful. That collaboration helps ensure sessions match the individual's needs and pace.
Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to make contact more flexible. Video calls allow fuller conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit a short break or when bandwidth is low, live chat works for brief check-ins and text messaging suits people who prefer writing. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
