About Kobe
Dr. Kobe Akanmu helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges and relationship strain. She supports those dealing with trauma, grief, low self-esteem and life changes.
Her approach is direct and compassionate, aimed at practical steps parents can try between sessions. She works in a conversational, respectful way. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her.
That can include building coping skills, spotting unhelpful thinking patterns, and untangling difficult feelings linked to family or past experiences.
Background and approach
Dr. Akanmu uses methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotionally-Focused and psychodynamic ideas, plus a client-centred attitude. She adapts tools to each person rather than using one fixed plan.
Short-term goals and clearer day-to-day strategies are often part of the work. She has five years of practice and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. She works from the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. People who choose her usually want practical support for parenting pressures, relationship pain, or mood and anxiety problems. The first steps are simple: complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions that fit your schedule.

How therapeutic styles work online
Dr. Akanmu draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside a client-centred stance. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and offers practical tools to change them, which can help with anxiety, low mood and parenting stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and expressing strong feelings, which is useful for relationship pain and processing loss.Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals, try methods that fit your situation, and adjust the plan as you go. That collaborative process helps make sure sessions stay relevant to your needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets you meet face to face, phone sessions can fit into a short break, live chat is handy for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people fit therapy around parenting, work and daily life while keeping the focus on progress and practical tools.
