About Kobe
Dr. Kobe Akanmu helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and the fallout from trauma and abuse. She also supports those facing relationship strains, parenting pressures, grief, low self-esteem and major life changes.
Her style is calm and respectful, aimed at making difficult conversations easier to have. She uses approaches that focus on the person in front of her. Sessions centre on what matters most to the client and on practical steps they can use between meetings.
Background and approach
Conversations are tailored to each person's situation rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Over five years she has worked with people dealing with attachment and abandonment issues, family of origin problems, blended family challenges, fertility and infidelity concerns, and feelings of isolation. She also helps with anger, body image, codependency and career worry.
All of these themes are addressed in straightforward talk and specific coping ideas. Kobe holds BACP and NCPS credentials. She practices in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English.
Her background combines person-centred, cognitive-behavioural and psychodynamic influences to offer a flexible way of working. People can expect a collaborative approach that balances listening with practical tools. The emphasis is on small, achievable changes that add up over time.
Kobe aims to make therapy clear and manageable for people who are juggling parenting, work and everyday life.
How Kobe blends therapy approaches online
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the centre of the work. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows what matters most to the client, helping people feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing practical ways to change them, which is useful for anxiety, low mood and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and make sense of strong emotions to improve how they relate to themselves and others. These approaches are used in straightforward language and with clear aims.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together they will try methods that fit the person and their circumstances. Sessions may shift emphasis as needs change, keeping the process collaborative and tailored.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life. Video calls give a face-to-face feel, phone sessions work well when video is difficult, live chat offers short check-ins, and text messaging allows ongoing support between meetings. These formats give flexibility for people balancing work, parenting and other commitments, while still allowing focused therapeutic work with registered or accredited professionals.
