Rajitha Cruz, BACP

Rajitha Cruz is an integrative counsellor who blends techniques from multiple therapeutic approaches to meet each client's unique needs. She draws on methods from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, solution-focused work, and trauma-focused therapy to tailor sessions according to a person’s circumstances and goals. Her practice emphasizes understanding the whole person - emotions, thinking patterns, relationships, and life context - and working collaboratively to develop more fulfilling ways of living.

Rajitha supports people through a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, intimacy issues, sleep difficulties, parenting struggles, anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. She also has additional focus on areas such as abandonment and attachment issues, blended family dynamics, body image, codependency, commitment and control issues, communication problems, experiences of domestic violence, family of origin difficulties, and fatherhood issues.

In sessions, Rajitha helps clients explore difficult emotions, increase self-awareness, and identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She works with clients to find practical strategies and new perspectives, while also attending to deeper emotional material when needed. Rajitha completed training on a Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body (CPCAB) accredited course and holds a BACP credential - indicating affiliation with a professional counselling body. She continues her professional development through ongoing additional training.

Rajitha offers therapy in English and Tamil and is open to working with clients locally in the United Kingdom as well as international clients. She aims to create a calm, accepting space where people can talk about their concerns without judgment and work toward meaningful change.
