More about Rajitha

  • 3 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

I am an integrative counsellor. Integrative counselling is a combined approach to counselling that brings together different elements of specific therapies. I use different techniques and theories to suit individual clients, as each person is unique. I believe that each person needs to be considered as a whole and counselling techniques will be tailored to the person’s needs and circumstances.

I would be happy to talk with you about any challenges you are currently experiencing. As your counsellor, I would help you to explore and make sense of the challenges you face. I would also work on your self-awareness. This may involve working with difficult emotions, identifying as well as dealing with unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. We will work together towards finding new ways of making your life more fulfilling.

It is not easy to open up to someone and share your problems. I would offer you a safe space to make you feel comfortable. I would listen with complete acceptance and non-judgment.

I have completed my training on Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body (CPCAB) accredited course. I am committed to continue with my professional development by attending ongoing additional trainings to enhance my services.

I speak Tamil fluently and I am able offer counselling in Tamil language too.

About online counseling

Affordable.

Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Rajitha has been an incredible support on my journey toward mental well-being. She creates a safe, non-judgmental space where I feel heard and understood. Her insight and compassion have helped me gain clarity on complex issues and develop healthier coping mechanisms. Her ability to listen deeply and offer thoughtful guidance has made a significant positive impact on my life and I always leave the sessions feeling more empowered and equipped to handle challenges. I highly recommend Rajitha to anyone seeking a caring and effective therapist.

Reviewed September 2024

Before meeting my therapist I was so scared of my panic attacks and believed it is going to be with me lifelong. I was on medication and doctor would write the prescription and that's it ! Whereas when I got with Rajitha my therapist she was friendly & a expert I always needed. Within just 1 month ( I can't believe yet ) my root cause is under control and like normal people I can easily control my emotional & mental health instead of being in control of them.

I felt comfortable with Rajitha from the very first minute which made it very easy for me to open myself and explain how I felt. She helped me over the period not simply by giving me a solution to my problems but by understanding where the root of the problem lies. This way I was able to understand myself better and also grew as a person with her. I also really enjoyed her different approaches and interactive tasks. Overall I would recommend Rajitha to someone who finds himself/herself in an emotionally difficult situation.

I am so grateful to of met Rajitha through BetterHelp, she listens and understands with no judgement. She has already helped me so much in a short period of time and she really accommodates the session to my needs.

Reviewed March 2023

I am new to therapy and Rajitha was the second therapist I tried, having failed to establish a connection with the first. Immediately her proactive approach and manner worked very well for me. I was going through a difficult time in an important close relationship for several reasons, including significant detrimental negative behaviours on my part. These behaviours were the reason I was seeking therapy. Rajitha was able to quickly explain their impacts to me in a way that was very easy to understand, then through ongoing sessions clearly identify the roots of the problem/s and provide strategies for coping. This was not a quick fix, but a lasting solution whose steps I was aware of throughout the process. This alone is worthy of recommendation, but I was even more impressed by how Rajitha could adapt to my moods in our different sessions and every time I came away better than I was at the beginning, even when I was down or things about myself were hard to hear, she offered a clarity of insight that was important for me and very motivational. She always had extremely good advice and she knew exactly when it was time for me to conclude my treatment. Thank you Rajitha, I am a better person now than I was at the beginning of this journey!

I’ve loved doing therapy with Rajitha and now that I’m moving on from therapy because we feel like I’ve made enough progress to stand on my own, I would’ve wanted to stay just because of her. She’s a great therapist who listenes and shares her thoughts without ever judging. I couldn’t be happier with my experience with her.
