Uruj Anjum, Online Counsellor, BACP Registered

I offer attachment-based psychotherapy to individuals, parents, and counsellors in training, with a focus on building strong emotional connections and fostering healing. My approach centers on creating a safe, supportive space where you can explore your feelings, experiences, and relationships.

With years of experience and a special interest in genetic diagnoses, in particular Huntington's Disease and perinatal mental health. I understand the unique challenges you may be facing. Whether you're navigating pregnancy, parenthood, or managing the emotional impact of a genetic condition, I am here to support you with compassion and understanding.

I offer flexible online therapy that fits your life, helping you build resilience, find balance, and create meaningful change.

Genetic Conditions & Rare Diagnoses

Living with or caring for someone with a genetic condition can feel overwhelming, isolating, and emotionally complex. At Saiyna Therapy, I offer a safe, supportive space to help you navigate these challenges with compassion and clarity.

 

With over nine years’ experience as a Genetic Counsellor in the NHS, I’ve supported individuals and families affected by conditions like Huntington’s Disease, hereditary cancers, and rare diagnoses. My background includes working on clinical trials and research, and I bring this knowledge into our sessions in a grounded, human way.

At Saiyna Therapy I am highly experienced in therapeutically supporting clients with a personal or family history of Huntington's Disease, Batten's Disease, Bardet-Biedl Syndrome, Cystic Fibrosis, and other rare diagnoses.

Whether you’re facing a new diagnosis, thinking about testing, or living with the daily impact of a condition, you don’t have to go through it alone.

Together, we can explore:

  • Living with a genetic diagnosis or supporting a loved one

  • The impact of predictive testing

  • The emotional toll of caregiving

  • Family planning options like prenatal testing, IVF, and surrogacy

  • Coping with inheritance and survivor guilt

  • Navigating family dynamics

  • Grief, loss, and bereavement

My experience extends to supporting parents of children with complex medical needs. I also collaborate with organizations like the Huntington's Disease Association (HDA), who offer valuable advice and support to those affected by Huntington's Disease.

I share my experiences in my Blog in hopes to raise awareness of these complex topics.​​ If you're carrying the emotional weight of a genetic condition—past, present, or future—therapy can help you make space for your feelings, build resilience, and feel less alone.

Get in touch today to begin the conversation.

Perinatal Support

Pregnancy, birth, and early parenting bring unique challenges, but you don’t have to face them alone. I offer a warm, supportive space to explore what you’re going through and help you feel more grounded. As a member of MumsAid, I’ve supported Mums from diverse backgrounds through many stages of the perinatal journey—including fertility struggles, pregnancy, postpartum, and loss.

We can work together on:

  • Fertility issues and trying to conceive

  • Prenatal anxiety and depression

  • Preparing for your baby

  • Antenatal testing and understanding results

  • Birth recovery

  • Postnatal anxiety and depression

  • Relationship changes after baby

  • Miscarriage, stillbirth, and baby loss

With additional training in baby loss and a background as an NHS Genetic Counsellor, I offer informed, sensitive support—especially during times of uncertainty or grief. I also signpost to trusted services like

Antenatal Results and Choices (ARC), for added support when needed.
