About Rajitha
Counsellor Rajitha Cruz is a BACP member with three years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She offers help with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, parenting and other life changes. Sessions are available in English and Tamil.
Rajitha uses an integrative approach that draws on several counselling methods. She listens to the person's story and helps them make sense of difficult feelings and events. Conversations often cover unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and practical ways to respond differently.
Her work pays attention to past relationships and how they affect current feelings and choices. That includes attachment and abandonment issues, family of origin problems, blended family concerns and fatherhood issues. She also supports people facing separation, domestic violence, and the emotional fallout of disasters.
Rajitha uses techniques from client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas and psychodynamic thinking. She also uses solution-focused and trauma-focused methods where these fit. The emphasis is on helping people increase self-awareness and find workable steps forward.
She trained on a Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body accredited course and keeps learning through additional trainings. This informs how she combines methods and plans sessions for individual needs.
People can expect straightforward conversations about goals and next steps. Rajitha accepts international clients and can work in Tamil as well as English.
Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Rajitha draws on client-centred work which focuses on listening and helping people express their thoughts and feelings. This approach supports people who want to build greater self-awareness and to talk through what matters most to them.She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. CBT-style techniques are used to identify unhelpful thinking and to try small practical changes that can reduce anxiety or improve mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss needs, goals and preferences and decide together which methods to use. This shared planning helps shape the focus of sessions and the practical steps taken between meetings.
Confirm the exact online session options before booking, as the profile does not list specific formats. Many people find online counselling helps fit sessions around work, travel and family commitments. It can make appointments easier to attend, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove the need to travel to a venue. Registered or accredited professionals generally offer a choice of arrangements so it is sensible to check which ones are available with the counsellor.
