About Rajitha
Rajitha Cruz is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years' experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, addiction issues, grief, intimacy and anger. Sessions are available in English and Tamil, and she accepts international clients.
Rajitha practises an integrative approach that draws on several therapy styles. She listens first and helps people make sense of what they are feeling. That often includes looking at difficult emotions, unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, and ways to support clearer communication in relationships.
In practical terms she uses client-centred conversations to help people express themselves, cognitive behavioural ideas to spot and test unhelpful thoughts, and trauma-focused tools when past events continue to affect present life. Psychodynamic ideas may be used to look at patterns that repeat across relationships, and solution-focused techniques can help set small, achievable goals.
Sessions aim to boost self-awareness and to identify workable changes. Rajitha says she adapts her methods to suit each person's circumstances and preferences. She also continues professional learning through additional trainings linked to her CPCAB-accredited counselling coursework.
If English or Tamil is preferred, she can work in either language. To begin, readers are asked to follow the site's process to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange a first session.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Rajitha commonly uses client-centred methods and cognitive behavioural therapy in her practice. Client-centred work focuses on listening and helping people name what they feel. This approach supports clearer communication and helps people become more aware of emotional reactions. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical ways to test and change unhelpful thinking.She also uses trauma-focused techniques when past events continue to affect daily life. Those techniques aim to reduce the ongoing impact of traumatic experiences and to build skills for coping with strong emotions. Together, these approaches give a mix of conversational work, practical skill-building and attention to deeper patterns.
Finding the right mix is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences. That decision is reviewed as the sessions progress so methods can be adjusted if needed.
Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Registered or accredited professionals often use video or phone styles that suit the person's schedule and comfort, and Rajitha will discuss which option works best for practical needs.
