About Rajitha

Rajitha Cruz offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, loss, or major life changes. She meets people where they are and helps them talk through difficult feelings. Sessions aim to increase self-awareness and find doable ways to cope and move forward.

Rajitha uses an integrative style, which means she draws on several approaches to suit each person. She helps people notice unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, and works with strong emotions in a step-by-step way. Conversations are collaborative and focused on what the person wants to change.

She creates a welcoming space and listens without judgement. In sessions Rajitha helps clients make sense of past experiences that still feel disruptive today. That might include looking at attachment or abandonment issues, family of origin problems, or experiences of trauma and abuse.

Practical work can include trying small changes between sessions and testing new ways of handling relationships, boundaries, or everyday stresses. Rajitha also supports people dealing with grief, addiction, body image concerns, and coping after natural or human-caused disasters.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has three years of counselling experience. Rajitha offers therapy in English and Tamil and accepts international clients. To begin, people use the site Start Therapy button to complete a brief matching questionnaire and arrange a session.

How Rajitha brings counselling online and by approach

Rajitha draws on client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques to help people manage current problems and change unhelpful patterns. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and working at the client’s pace to build self-awareness and confidence. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours and uses straightforward exercises to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and tackle low mood.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that suit their needs. That means methods can shift over time if something else seems more helpful.

Details of exact online session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, cut travel time and offer quicker check-ins when needed. It can also allow for shorter or more flexible session times and for practical exercises to be done between meetings, helping change carry into everyday life.
