Dr. Kobe Akanmu, BACP, NCPS

Dr. Kobe Akanmu offers support for stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, grief and relationship concerns. She helps people facing parenting pressures, career challenges and the strain of life changes. Her approach is calm and respectful, aiming to make the first steps feel manageable for a worried parent or carer.

She works collaboratively to tailor conversations and plans to each person’s situation. Sessions focus on practical ways to cope, improve mood and rebuild confidence. She draws on several approaches to match what a client needs, rather than using a single method for everyone.

Her background includes five years of clinical practice and professional credentials with BACP and NCPS. BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and NCPS is the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society. These reflect her professional affiliations in the United Kingdom.

In therapy she combines elements from client-centred work, cognitive-behavioural methods, emotionally-focused ideas and psychodynamic thinking. That mix lets her address current problems and the feelings behind them, such as attachment or family of origin issues.

People often bring concerns like abandonment, codependency, infidelity, fertility worries or problems within blended families. She helps clients talk through painful experiences, find clearer choices and set small practical goals to feel steadier day to day.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s perspective and aims to create a non-judgemental space where clients shape the conversation. It helps with feelings of low self-worth, relationship struggles and parenting stress. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, works by identifying unhelpful thinking and testing small changes in behaviour to reduce anxiety and low mood. It suits people wanting practical steps and clear strategies.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. Together they will try methods that match the client’s needs and check in regularly to adjust the plan where necessary.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around school runs, work breaks or childcare duties and can remove travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins if needed and can be helpful when quieter surroundings or not being on camera is preferable. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt their techniques for remote sessions so that therapy remains focused and practical.
