About Rajitha

Rajitha Cruz is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions and a range of life changes. She also supports people dealing with blended family issues and related parenting and fatherhood stresses. Sessions are available in English and Tamil.

Rajitha uses an integrative approach that draws on several counselling methods rather than a single model. She focuses on helping people make sense of what they are facing, increase self-awareness and spot unhelpful thinking or behaviour patterns. That can mean talking through difficult emotions, looking at past relationships and attachment, or trying specific strategies to manage anxiety and low mood.

Her work often addresses communication problems, codependency, commitment and intimacy concerns. She also helps people cope with grief, anger, body image worries, and the aftermath of domestic violence or separation. Practical steps and short-term problem solving can sit alongside deeper reflection about family of origin or abandonment issues.

Rajitha describes her role as a listening counsellor who offers acceptance without judgement. She invites clients to take things at a manageable pace and to identify realistic changes they want to make. Therapy tends to blend discussion with structured techniques when helpful.

If you prefer to speak in Tamil she can work in that language. For international clients and those in the UK she asks people to follow the booking steps on the profile to complete a short matching questionnaire before arranging a first session.

Approaches used in online counselling and how they help

Rajitha draws on Client-Centred Therapy to focus on a person's own experience and to build greater self-awareness. That approach is about listening and reflecting so the client can make clearer choices about relationships and parenting.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. CBT-style work can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and practical coping when routines need to change.

Finding the right method is part of the work. Rajitha works collaboratively to agree a plan based on what the client wants to achieve, their preferences and the issues they bring. She may combine reflection with short-term strategies and review progress as sessions continue.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as this profile does not list them explicitly. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time and offer shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow someone to choose a quieter setting or avoid being on camera if that helps them engage more easily.
