Dr. Kobe Akanmu, BACP, NCPS

Dr. Kobe Akanmu helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship strain. She also supports people dealing with parenting pressures, grief, career uncertainty and problems linked to self‑esteem. Her plain, direct style is calm and respectful and she aims to make the first steps feel manageable.

She has five years of clinical experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. Kobe draws on several common therapeutic ways of working to match what a person needs. Sessions are shaped to the individual rather than following a fixed script.

In conversation she listens for patterns that keep problems repeating. She uses practical strategies when helpful, alongside chance to talk about feelings and past experiences. That mix lets people try small changes and notice what makes a difference.

Kobe pays attention to how early relationships and life events influence current behaviour. She also helps people find practical tools for stress, worry and day-to-day challenges. Work often focuses on clearer communication, boundary setting and rebuilding confidence.

Her approach is collaborative. Together she and a client set goals, try approaches, and review what helps. Sessions can suit people wanting both direct techniques and time to talk through deeper issues.

All sessions are offered in English in the United Kingdom and are delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.

How therapy approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person and their experience. The counsellor offers active listening and helps people find their own answers, useful for issues like low self‑esteem or feeling stuck.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is often used for anxiety, depression and stress when people want clear techniques to try between sessions.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy or EFT looks at emotional patterns and how people connect in relationships. It can help when feelings and attachment concerns affect trust or closeness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and try options together, adjusting methods based on what feels most useful to the client. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed plan.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit quieter bandwidth or hands-free timing, live chat offers a typed conversation and text messaging supports short check-ins. These formats make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, childcare and daily life.
