Hi, I’m Uruj (Arouge; she/her). Before making England my home in 2010, I lived in Pakistan, Peru, and Canada, which gave me a deep appreciation for diverse cultures, identities, and experiences. I personally understand the complexities of balancing cultural expectations, immigrant family values, and finding your own path. As a parent, I also get the real-life challenges of pregnancy, birth, and raising kids while juggling multiple roles.

​

With over 9 years of experience as a genetic counsellor in the NHS, I’ve worked closely with individuals and families navigating life-changing diagnoses. This foundation in genetics and family dynamics adds a unique depth to my therapeutic approach.

I retrained as a Therapeutic Counsellor in Kent and specialized in Attachment-Based Psychotherapy. Together, we can explore how your early relationships shape your present, guiding you to better understand yourself and your emotions.

​

I’ve supported clients through anxiety, depression, grief, bereavement & loss, perinatal challenges, and more. My passion lies in perinatal support, genetics, and working with complex medical needs. I also enjoy creatively working with neurodiverse clients, tailoring my approach to meet each individual’s needs.

​

I'm proud to contribute to The Maypole Project, supporting families with complex medical needs, and MumsAid, providing counselling for mothers from ethnic minority backgrounds. I also co-tutor a CPCAB Level 5 Diploma in Attachment-Based Psychotherapy, helping train the next generation of therapists.

​

If you're ready to embark on a journey of healing and self-discovery, I’d love to support you along the way. Let’s connect.
