Amaris Raiana, BACP

Amaris Raiana is a counsellor who helps people untangle difficult feelings in their lives and relationships. She works without judgement and aims to make emotional concerns easier to understand. Many people come to her worried about relationship strain, intimacy issues, or feeling stuck and overwhelmed.

She pays attention to how everyday patterns and past experiences shape current reactions. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps as well as making space to talk honestly about what’s hard. Communication problems, commitment worries, and attachment concerns are common topics. Jealousy and fertility worries are also among the issues she supports people with.

Amaris brings seven years of experience to her work and is a BACP member, which is recorded as BACP. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people find what works for them. The style is described as warm, honest and down to earth, with an emphasis on meeting people where they are.

She also works with people coping with grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, ADHD, and the strain of caregiving. Practical areas such as sleep, eating, career and parenting stress are addressed alongside emotional concerns. Sessions aim to help people take manageable steps forward rather than making large promises.

To begin someone completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules according to the therapist’s availability. The process is collaborative and aims to match needs and preferences before sessions start.

How her approaches translate to online work

Amaris uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people understand patterns in relationships and emotional life. One common approach she employs focuses on attachment and abandonment issues by looking at how early relationship patterns influence current reactions and closeness. This can help with jealousy, commitment worries and communication problems. Another frequent focus is practical coping work for anxiety and stress, which teaches simple strategies to manage overwhelming feelings and improve daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss different methods and decide with the client which feels most helpful. This is a collaborative process that adapts as needs and goals change over time.

If you are considering online therapy, check the session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people keep continuity when life circumstances change, while the therapist and client decide together how best to use each session.
