About Azanimo
Azanimo Ltd offers a professional service, delivered by highly qualified and experienced counsellors, psychotherapists, hypnotherapists and clinical supervisors. Therapists are accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and abide by their Ethical Framework for Counselling and psychotherapy.

Azanimo therapists have a varied range of skills and training, therefore, can help with a very wide range of issues. Whether you want to enhance your life and deal with a less complex issue i.e. a career change, a moderate level of stress, or whether you are suffering emotional distress, i.e. depression or historical difficulties, we have someone to help. Our belief is that no problem is too big or too small.
At Azanimo we understand how hard it can be to take the first steps to taking control of your life and making positive changes. We, therefore, provide a safe place for you to explore your thoughts, feelings and emotions in a non-judgmental environment.

It has recently been announced that the government is to consider making domestic violence a specific crime in order to protect victims from psychological and emotional abuse, as well as that of physical violence.
Whilst ministers redefined the term domestic abuse last year, to include both violence and acts of psychological control, there are no specific laws to protect domestic and romantic partners in this country. Families and community services are then reluctant to get involved. If a new law is implemented this will leave police with no doubt about their role and responsibilities within the community and this could help many men and women who are afraid in their own homes and relationships.
Shame, embarrassment, isolation, what people may say and having nowhere to go, all play a part in keeping people in abusive relationships and stop them seeking support and help from counselling and psychotherapy. The general public isn't always supportive because they don't understand how people can stay in abusive relationships, not recognising the subversive way an abuser strips away and erodes the self-esteem of his or her partner. If the new law comes to fruition this could change by bringing the topic out into the open and having guidelines about what does and does not constitute domestic abuse.
People have a right to be safe in their own homes and within their own relationships perhaps this will be the first step to seeing this happens. Let's help people get the support they need.
