About Kobe
Dr Kobe Akanmu supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and grief. She also helps those facing trauma, relationship strain, family difficulties, parenting pressures and career questions. Her approach aims to make hard problems easier to talk about and manage.
Dr Akanmu uses straightforward conversation to understand what matters to each person. She listens with compassion and adapts sessions to the individual's needs. The first meetings focus on what is causing the most worry and what the person hopes to change.
Background and approach
Her methods draw on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, client-centred practice and cognitive-behavioural ideas. That means sessions look at feelings and attachment, how thoughts influence mood, and practical steps to try between meetings. Plans are practical and reviewed as things change.
She has five years of clinical experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. These are shown to indicate professional registration as supplied in her profile. She works from the United Kingdom and carries out sessions in English.
People often come for support with attachment and abandonment concerns, family of origin issues, body image, codependency and difficulties after separation. Dr Akanmu also works with issues such as infertility stress, forgiveness, isolation and anger, tailoring conversations to each person's story.

Online support
How emotion-focused and practical therapies work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on the role of feelings and attachment. In sessions you talk about emotional experiences and patterns that affect relationships, which can help with anxiety, loneliness and problems around closeness. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's own goals and pace first. The counsellor reflects and supports people to make sense of their situation and decide what changes to try next. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. It uses simple exercises and short tasks to test new ways of thinking and coping between meetings. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and together you will choose methods that fit your needs, goals and preferences. That choice is reviewed as progress is made. Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which helps fit therapy into busy lives. Video is useful for deeper conversations; phone calls work when bandwidth is low; chat and messaging suit brief check-ins or steady support between calls. These options give flexibility so people can arrange therapy around work, childcare or travel.We will earn a commission if you sign up through our link, at no cost to you.
