About Rajitha

Rajitha Cruz works with stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions and related concerns. She practices integrative counselling and says she brings together elements from different therapies to suit each person. Rajitha is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she has three years' experience.

She offers conversations that focus on making sense of current problems and increasing self-awareness. Sessions may include looking at strong emotions, spotting unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, and finding practical changes that help day-to-day life. The emphasis is on working together to identify manageable steps forward.

Her training was completed on a Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body accredited course, and she continues with further professional development. Rajitha speaks English and Tamil and can offer counselling in Tamil for people who prefer it.

She describes her approach as integrative, drawing on client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas, psychodynamic thinking, solution-focused techniques and trauma-focused methods. These are combined to match what a person needs at the time. Sessions are delivered from the United Kingdom and she accepts international clients.

Rajitha aims to help people address a wide range of issues including family and parenting pressures, grief, intimacy-related problems, sleeping difficulties, self-esteem and career concerns. She also lists more specific focuses such as abandonment and attachment issues, blended family and fatherhood concerns, body image and codependency.

How Rajitha uses different approaches in online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and supporting a person's own view of their situation; it helps when someone needs space to explore feelings and make sense of relationships. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and often includes practical techniques to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful patterns. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on working with responses to traumatic events and aims to reduce the ongoing impact of those experiences.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and the issues being faced, and will suggest ways of working that may suit the person. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made.

The practical benefits of online counselling can include fitting sessions around work or family commitments and avoiding travel time. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals generally find that online sessions can make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to schedule regular check-ins while managing everyday life.
