About Rajitha

Rajitha Cruz is a counsellor who helps people feeling overwhelmed, angry or stuck. She speaks English and Tamil and aims to make conversations straightforward. Her style is warm and accepting so people can talk about what matters most.

She uses an integrative way of working, which means she mixes approaches to fit each person. Sessions often include talking through difficult feelings, spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying practical steps to change small patterns. Rajitha focuses on building self-awareness and teaching ways to manage strong emotions like anger and anxiety.

Rajitha trained on a Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body accredited course. She continues to update her skills through additional training. That background informs how she blends methods such as client-centred listening and solution-focused practical work.

People bring many different issues to sessions, including stress, relationships, trauma, grief, addictions and problems with sleep or self-esteem. Rajitha helps people untangle repeated patterns such as attachment or control issues and supports work on parenting or family-related concerns. Her approach aims to be realistic and doable, focusing on changes that fit everyday life.

If someone prefers to meet in Tamil she can carry out sessions in that language. Prospective clients are invited to start by telling a little about their situation so the first step is a short match and scheduling conversation.

Approaches that suit online counselling

Client-centred work focuses on listening and building understanding. The therapist offers space to reflect and helps people name feelings and patterns, which can be useful for issues like anger and relationship worries.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy involves spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying practical exercises to change reactions. It often includes homework such as thought records or small behavioural experiments to reduce anxiety or manage anger more effectively.

Trauma-focused work looks at how past hurts shape current responses and uses careful, paced methods to help process distress. This can support people coping with abuse, loss or repeated traumatic events.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to try. That makes sessions collaborative and tailored to the person's needs.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit counselling around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about language options, scheduling and any practical arrangements when setting up the first session.
