Rajitha Cruz , BACP

Rajitha Cruz is a counsellor who focuses on women's issues alongside a broad range of emotional and life challenges. She listens without judgment and works with each person to understand what matters most to them. Sessions aim to help people feel heard and to identify steps they can try between meetings. Rajitha speaks English and Tamil and offers support to international clients.

Rajitha uses a blend of therapeutic ways of working so the approach fits the person rather than the other way round. She supports people through stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, and relationship and intimacy-related concerns. Practical help might include spotting unhelpful thinking, trying different coping strategies, and exploring how past experiences affect present choices.

Conversations also cover family and parenting stresses, communication and connection, body image and self-esteem, and life changes such as separation or bereavement. Rajitha aims to increase self-awareness and to help people find clearer options when they feel stuck. She is familiar with issues linked to attachment, abandonment and blended family arrangements.

Rajitha holds BACP accreditation from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She trained on a Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body course and continues to develop her practice through further learning. Her background is focused on practical, person-centred work that adapts to what each client needs.

People can choose video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging for appointments. Rajitha prefers a collaborative pace and helps people set realistic goals they can work on between sessions.

How Rajitha’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The therapist offers acceptance and reflects what she hears so people can explore their feelings and decide what matters to them. This approach is useful for building confidence and self-awareness.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and then tries small experiments to change them. It is practical for worry, low mood, sleep problems and coping with stressful situations. Clients and the therapist agree on steps to try between sessions.

Trauma-Focused Therapy pays attention to how past events affect present responses and teaches ways to manage strong emotions and reactions. It can help people who have experienced abuse, violence or other deeply distressing events to regain agency in day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rajitha will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to use, adapt them as progress is made, and check in about what is helping and what is not. Goals and techniques are shaped by the client’s needs, preferences and pace.

Online therapy offers practical benefits such as flexible scheduling and easier access for international clients. Video calls are close to an in-person conversation, phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits short check-ins, and text messaging allows ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
