Dr Kobe Akanmu helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, grief and major life changes. She also supports people facing relationship strain, parenting pressures, career stress and family difficulties. She is named here as Dr Kobe Akanmu and holds BACP and NCPS credentials.

Sessions are offered in English and delivered from within the United Kingdom. Dr Akanmu approaches work in a straightforward, person-focused way.

Background and approach

She uses client-centred conversation to hear what matters most, and cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns. She can also draw on emotionally-focused ideas to address strong feelings and psychodynamic thinking to look at long-standing patterns. Sessions aim to be practical and to match a person’s situation and goals.

People can expect clear, collaborative planning rather than jargon-filled lecture. Dr Akanmu works with each person to set realistic steps and manageable goals. Therapy may include short exercises, reflections between sessions, and checking what is or is not helping.

She has five years of professional experience and combines different approaches depending on the presenting concern. Her background includes work around attachment issues, abandonment, blended family strains, body image and codependency, among other areas. Those who talk with her usually focus on finding steady ways to cope and rebuild confidence.

Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Booking begins by using the site Start Therapy button, completing a short matching questionnaire, then scheduling according to therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Dr Akanmu commonly uses client-centred therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy in online sessions. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's priorities, helping people feel heard and supported as they talk through problems. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical tools to change unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then agree which methods to try. That collaborative decision can change as work progresses, with approaches adapted to what actually helps the individual.

Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face when that is helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or messaging supports shorter check-ins and ongoing reflection between meetings. These options aim to make therapy flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
