About Amaris

Amaris Raiana is a counsellor who helps people make sense of tangled feelings and difficult moments. She works without judgement and aims to make conversations straightforward and practical. If intimacy or sexual wellbeing feels confusing or out of reach, she supports people to talk it through and find steps they can try.

She has a background in relationship and intimacy work and brings seven years of practice to sessions. That experience includes helping with communication breakdowns, emotional disconnection, and physical challenges that affect relationships and sexual wellbeing. She also addresses stress, anxiety, loss and others areas that often feed into intimacy concerns.

Her style is described as warm, honest and down to earth. She focuses on clear, manageable steps rather than long lists of theory. Sessions aim to identify what sits underneath a problem and to build achievable ways forward.

Amaris is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, which is noted as her professional credential. She works from the United Kingdom and runs therapy in English. International clients are not currently accepted.

To begin, people choose the Start Therapy button on the site, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to therapist availability. The service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time and fees vary with location and therapist availability.

How Amaris uses evidence-based techniques online

Amaris works from approaches rooted in evidence-based therapeutic techniques. One useful approach focuses on looking at patterns in relationships and communication - it helps people pinpoint how interactions lead to feeling disconnected and offers practical ways to change those patterns. Another approach addresses emotional and bodily responses to trauma and stress by helping people notice reactions, name them and build small coping strategies that ease overwhelm and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs and preferences. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan as things change so sessions remain relevant and manageable.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what is available. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make it simpler to have consistent appointments while juggling work, family commitments or health needs.
