Uruj Anjum

Uruj is a BACP Accredited Psychotherapist, former NHS Genetic Counsellor, supervisor, speaker and educator. She runs an online private practice offering attachment-based psychotherapy, supervision and specialist support for individuals, couples and families navigating attachment, grief, trauma, perinatal experiences and genetic diagnoses.

Her therapeutic and educational approach is rooted in the belief that healing and learning happen through relationships. With almost a decade of experience working within NHS clinical genetics, alongside years of psychotherapy practice, teaching and supervision, she brings a research-informed, trauma-informed and relational lens to all her work.

Uruj is deeply passionate about attachment theory and its ability to illuminate how early relationships shape our sense of self, our experiences of parenting, our connections with others, and our capacity to navigate uncertainty, loss and change. She also recognises the wider systems that influence emotional wellbeing, including family dynamics, culture, identity, neurodiversity and inherited experiences.

Teaching on the CPCAB Level 7 Attachment-Focused Psychotherapeutic Pathway to Clinical Mastery is a role she values deeply. She creates a collaborative and reflective learning environment where experienced therapists are encouraged to deepen their clinical thinking, integrate theory with practice, and develop confidence in working with complexity.

Alongside teaching, Uruj delivers workshops, conference presentations and CPD across the UK, sharing her expertise in attachment, genetics and relational psychotherapy with therapists and healthcare professionals.

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.
