Welcome to Azanimo

Professional Counselling Services in Shropshire

Azanimo Ltd offers a professional service, delivered by highly qualified and experienced counsellor, psychotherapist, and clinical supervisor. I am senior accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and abide by the Ethical Framework for Counselling and psychotherapy. I undertake regular training and clinical supervision.

I have a varied range of skills and training and therefore can help with a wide range of issues. Whether you want to enhance your life or explore a personal development need i.e. to change career or embark on a new project, to manage a fear or phobia, tackle a moderate level of stress, utilize a mental health check up, or whether you are suffering severe emotional distress, i.e. depression or historical difficulties, I can help.  My belief is that no problem is too big or too small and I will never trivialise or belittle your presenting issue or your distress.

There is sometimes a view that counselling and psychotherapy is just "tea and sympathy" and all a client does is sit and talk. This is a misconception. Whilst therapy is about talking through your issues it is also about being proactive in your life and making changes that will help your situation for the better. Therapy is not passive, nor indulgent, and it is certainly not weak to ask for help, it is hard work and sometimes painful. It is, therefore, important to choose someone qualified and experienced to help you manage this process.

I understand how hard it can be to take the first steps to taking control of your life again and making positive changes. I understand how daunting it can be to talk to someone new. I, therefore, provide a safe place for you to explore your thoughts, feelings and emotions in a non-judgmental environment. Azanimo's ethos is not to make you dependent on me, or feel you can't manage without me, but to teach you how to manage your own life more effectively and to help you implement relapse prevention techniques so that you can move forward on your own. Will this be your first step to moving forward?

Thank you for visiting this site and I hope I have the chance to work with you at some stage, now or in the future.
