About Rajitha

Rajitha Cruz is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, sleep problems and relationship strains. She works with a wide range of concerns including depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, intimacy issues and parenting challenges. Rajitha offers sessions in English and Tamil and she accepts international clients.

Rajitha follows an integrative approach, drawing on several ways of working to match each person’s needs. She listens without judgement and focuses on understanding what matters to the individual. Conversations often involve noticing difficult emotions and spotting patterns in thinking and behaviour that make things harder.

In practical terms she helps people try new ways of coping and making small changes that can improve day-to-day life. That might mean setting short, manageable goals, practising different ways of thinking about problems, or reflecting on how past experiences affect current relationships. She aims for clear, simple steps rather than complicated plans.

Rajitha completed her counselling training on a Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body accredited course and holds BACP as a listed credential. She is committed to ongoing professional development and attends additional training to broaden her skills.

If you find it hard to start, Rajitha wants to make the first step easier by offering a calm, accepting space to talk. She will work with you to build self-awareness and practical strategies to help you cope with life’s challenges.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Rajitha draws on client-centred work that focuses on understanding each person’s experience and priorities. This approach centres on active listening and responding to what matters most to the individual, which can help with issues such as relationship strain, grief and self-esteem.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and supports practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Rajitha will discuss different ways of working with each person and together decide which methods fit the client’s goals and preferences. That collaborative planning can change over time as needs evolve.

If you plan to use online counselling, please confirm the current session options before booking as the profile does not list specific formats. Online work can help fit therapy into everyday life by removing travel, making sessions easier to schedule around work or parenting, and offering shorter check-ins when days are busy. It also lets people continue therapy when they are living abroad or need to keep appointments while travelling. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists like Rajitha, will help set practical arrangements that suit a person’s routine.
