Rajitha Cruz , BACP

Rajitha Cruz works as an integrative counsellor who blends elements from different therapeutic models to suit the individual needs of each person. She approaches therapy with the belief that people are best supported when treatment is tailored to their unique circumstances, drawing on techniques and theories that fit the client rather than forcing a single method.

She invites conversations about current struggles and helps clients explore and make sense of what they are experiencing. Her work often involves building self-awareness, working with difficult emotions, and identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. Together with clients she focuses on practical steps and new ways of living that aim to make life more fulfilling.

Rajitha recognises that opening up can be difficult and aims to create a calm space where people feel heard without judgement. She listens with acceptance and encourages clients to move at a pace that feels right for them.

She completed training on a CPCAB accredited counselling and psychotherapy course and is committed to ongoing professional development. She is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which is a professional organisation for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom.

Rajitha speaks Tamil fluently and is able to offer counselling in Tamil as well as English. She would be happy to talk with anyone seeking support for the challenges they are facing.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy places the client at the heart of the process, offering a respectful, empathetic space where a person can explore feelings and values. It is often helpful for issues that involve self-esteem, relationship concerns, and making sense of life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is practical and goal-oriented, commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that get in the way of daily functioning.

Trauma-Focused Therapy targets the impact of traumatic events and works to reduce distressing symptoms while building coping skills. It can be appropriate for people processing past abuse, loss, or other overwhelming experiences.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Rajitha will work collaboratively with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and to decide which combination of approaches may be most helpful. The process is flexible and guided by what works best for the individual.

Online therapy offers practical benefits in accessibility and scheduling. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, licensed professionals and therapists can provide consistent support while fitting sessions into busy lives. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access therapy from different locations.
