Rajitha Cruz, BACP

Rajitha Cruz is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety and difficult life changes. She aims to create a calm space where clients can talk through painful feelings and confusing thoughts. Rajitha speaks English and Tamil and works with a wide range of concerns including depression, trauma, relationship and intimacy-related issues.

She uses an integrative approach that blends methods from several therapies to fit each person. That means sessions might involve talking about past experiences, noticing unhelpful thinking patterns, and practising small steps that change how someone copes day to day. Rajitha focuses on building self-awareness and identifying patterns that cause repeated pain.

Clients can expect a listening style that is accepting and non-judgemental. Rajitha aims to help people name difficult emotions and try practical techniques to reduce distress. She also supports people facing grief, addiction and challenges around parenting or family dynamics.

Rajitha trained through a Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body accredited course and holds BACP, which is noted as a professional credential. She has three years of counselling experience and continues to take extra training to broaden her skills.

Sessions can be offered in person in the United Kingdom or online in English and Tamil for international clients. The focus is on working together to find approaches that feel manageable and useful in everyday life.

How Rajitha’s approaches work online

Rajitha uses several practical approaches adapted for online work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening with acceptance and helping people explore their feelings at their own pace; it suits people who need a steady, supportive space to open up. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thinking and behaviour and teaches simple techniques to reduce anxiety, lift mood and change patterns that cause distress. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and reducing the impact of traumatic events through careful, paced methods that aim to restore a sense of control.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Rajitha will work with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses so sessions remain relevant and practical.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat gives a written back-and-forth during a busy day, and text-based messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing reflection. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and travel and make it easier to keep momentum between sessions.
