About Rajitha

Rajitha Cruz is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain and parenting concerns. She speaks English and Tamil and works with adults who want to make practical changes in their lives. Her approach aims to make talking about hard things feel manageable and clear.

She uses a mix of methods so sessions fit each person. That can mean listening closely and reflecting what you say, looking at thoughts and behaviours, or focusing on patterns from earlier life.

Background and approach

Rajitha explains ideas in simple language and checks in about what feels most useful. In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful thinking and behaviour. She also supports work on emotions like grief, anger or shame, and practical issues such as sleep, parenting strain or coping after loss.

Conversations move at a steady pace and focus on what matters most to the client. Rajitha trained through a Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body course and holds BACP. She continues with additional learning to broaden her skills.

Her three years of experience have included supporting people through trauma, relationship breakdown and addiction concerns. People can expect a calm, non-judgemental space to talk things through. Rajitha aims to help clients build self-awareness and try new ways of handling old problems.

She works collaboratively to set achievable goals and practical steps forward.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Client-centred therapy focuses on empathetic listening and understanding your experience. The therapist reflects what you say, helps you name feelings and supports you to make your own decisions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers simple tools to try different responses to stress and anxiety. Psychodynamic ideas pay attention to how past relationships and early patterns can influence present behaviour and feelings, helping uncover repeated patterns that cause distress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rajitha will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. She adjusts what she uses as therapy progresses so clients are involved in choosing what feels most helpful.

Online work offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions can be a lighter check-in when video is not needed, and live chat or text-based messaging makes it possible to send brief updates or reflect between meetings. These options help fit therapy around work, parenting and other commitments while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
