Uruj Anjum

Uruj is an experienced genetic counsellor, attachment therapist, supervisor and educator. She runs an online private practice that offers compassionate, specialist support in attachment-based psychotherapy, with a particular focus on perinatal clients and individuals navigating genetic diagnoses. Her therapeutic and educational approach is rooted in the belief that healing happens through connection—whether in the therapy room or a learning environment. With a professional background in genetic counselling and years of experience supporting families through complex and uncertain times, she brings a trauma-informed, relational lens to all her work. Uruj is deeply passionate about attachment theory and its power to illuminate how early relationships shape our sense of self, our experiences of parenting, our connections with others, and our ways of processing loss. She holds space for the many intersecting layers that influence emotional life, including family systems, genetics, culture, beliefs, and neurodiversity. Teaching the Level 5 Diploma in Attachment-Based Psychotherapy is a role she values deeply. She creates a collaborative and welcoming online space where theory and clinical practice come together and where counsellors can safely build confidence, insight, and depth. Outside of her professional life, Uruj is a mother of two. She enjoys nature walks and playing badminton and is continually engaged in learning—about herself, others, and the transformative power of human relationships.
