About Uruj

My work is grounded in both clinical experience and research.

​

Before training as a psychotherapist, I spent nearly a decade working in NHS clinical genetics, supporting individuals and families navigating complex diagnoses, uncertainty, life-changing decisions, and conducting research.

​

Over time, I became increasingly aware that what people were carrying was more than medical.

It was emotional.
It was relational.
It was psychologically profound.

​

Beneath the language of risk, results, and testing were often deeper experiences of grief, identity, uncertainty, and change.

​

That understanding led me into psychotherapy. Today, my work brings together genetics, attachment, and relational psychotherapy to offer research-informed support that recognises both the clinical and emotional impact of inherited risk, reproductive decision-making, loss, and identity.

​

My approach is grounded in cultural humility. I recognise that our stories are shaped by culture, migration, faith, family roles, and intergenerational experiences. I remain curious, allowing space for your unique context to be understood in your own words.

​

Alongside my clinical work, I teach and supervise counsellors, helping them feel more confident when genetics enters the therapy room.
