Rajitha Cruz, BACP

Rajitha Cruz is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and issues around intimacy. She speaks English and Tamil and aims to make conversations straightforward and approachable. Her profile notes experience working with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, addictions, sleep problems and self-esteem difficulties.

Rajitha uses an integrative approach, drawing on different therapy ideas to suit the person in front of her. She encourages clients to talk through difficult emotions and to notice patterns in thoughts and behaviour that might be holding them back. The work often looks at practical steps people can try between sessions to feel steadier day to day.

Her training was completed through a Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body accredited course, and she holds BACP as a listed credential. She continues with professional development to broaden what she offers. This background informs a calm, attentive style that aims to put people at ease when they first reach out.

In early sessions she focuses on understanding what matters most to a client and on building self-awareness. Later sessions commonly include exploring past experiences that still affect current patterns and trying different strategies to change unhelpful habits. The goal is to help people find clearer ways to manage emotions and improve their day-to-day life.

Rajitha welcomes conversations about a broad set of personal concerns, including family of origin issues, attachment and abandonment worries, communication and commitment difficulties, and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with problems arising from domestic violence, divorce and blended family situations.

How Rajitha’s approaches translate to online counselling

Rajitha draws on client-centred ideas that prioritise the person’s experience and on trauma-focused methods that pay attention to painful past events. Client-Centred Therapy is about listening closely and helping people lead the direction of sessions, which can be useful for anyone needing a space to make sense of feelings. Trauma-Focused Therapy involves carefully addressing distressing memories and reactions, and is often used when past harm still affects day-to-day life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest which methods might help most. This is a collaborative process that can change as needs evolve.

If you are considering online counselling, please confirm the session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time and allow more frequent short check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to access a counsellor who speaks their language even if they live elsewhere. Registered or accredited professionals often aim to adapt exercises and tools so they work well over distance.
