Rajitha Cruz , BACP

Rajitha Cruz is an integrative counsellor who combines techniques from different therapies to match each person's unique needs. She views people as whole individuals and adapts her approach so that counselling reflects a person’s circumstances and preferences. Her training includes a CPCAB accredited course in counselling and psychotherapy - CPCAB stands for Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body - and she also holds BACP credentials, which relate to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Rajitha invites people to explore the challenges they are facing and supports them in increasing self-awareness. Her work can involve helping clients to process difficult emotions, to recognise and address unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, and to discover new ways of making life more fulfilling. The process focuses on collaboration and practical steps toward meaningful change.

Opening up can feel difficult, and Rajitha aims to create a welcoming space built on acceptance and non-judgement. She continues to develop professionally through ongoing training to enhance the support she offers. Rajitha speaks Tamil fluently and is able to provide counselling in Tamil as well as in English.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Rajitha uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, non-directive space where the person seeking help leads the conversation while the therapist offers empathy and understanding. This approach is helpful for issues related to self-esteem, relationship concerns, and exploring personal values.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, a practical method that identifies unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and works on small, achievable changes to reduce anxiety, depression, or stress. For those affected by past harm, Rajitha draws on trauma-focused techniques to gently address traumatic memories and their ongoing effects in ways paced to the individual.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Rajitha works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This may involve combining elements from different approaches as therapy progresses.

Online therapy with Rajitha is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and for people who live at a distance. These options make it possible to access consistent support while balancing work, family, or other commitments, and to continue therapy even when circumstances change.
