Urooj Adnan, MSc, MBACP, GMBPsS

I am a fully qualified & BACP registered therapist, counsellor, and psychologist with a profound interest in supporting individuals living with Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, Chronic Pain/illness, Loneliness/Social isolation, Stress & burnout and other mental health challenges. I specialise in working with people, particularly women, who have experienced trauma and/or PTSD, and helping them navigate the complexities of their traumatic past (Flashbacks, intrusive thoughts, fear, despair, anger, guilt, shame, insomnia etc) and focus on building strength and resilience. 

People living with PTSD or complex trauma avoid seeking help due to the fear of having to verbalise their painful past experiences. I understand this concern deeply. I follow a three-phase trauma model, a highly compassionate and structured approach that emphasises i) Safety and Stability before delving into the emotionally charged aspects of trauma, followed by ii) Reprocessing & Reintegration, and iii) Re-empowerment. We work together to build a secure environment where you feel supported, empowered and in control. Only when you feel ready, do we gently approach the more challenging memories, ensuring that the process is as manageable and stress-free for you as possible.

The first step after you get in touch would be arranging a free 15 min consultation with you to understand your concerns and determine if we’re a good fit for your needs. If you decide to proceed, I will then do a thorough assessment of your problem to develop a tailored therapeutic plan that honours your personal journey towards healing and fulfilment. My goal is to create a supportive and personalised environment where you feel understood and empowered to take charge of your healing and growth at your own pace.
