About Kobe
Dr. Kobe Akanmu helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression and life changes. She supports those struggling with grief, parenting strain, relationship difficulty, and work-related pressure.
She also works with people facing trauma, low self-esteem, anger, and issues around attachment and abandonment. Her style is warm and respectful. Conversations are shaped around each person's needs and goals.
Sessions focus on practical steps as well as understanding deeper patterns that keep problems repeating.
Background and approach
Dr. Akanmu draws on approaches from client-centred work, cognitive-behavioural methods, emotionally-focused ideas and psychodynamic thinking. That combination lets her use short-term strategies and also look at longer-standing feelings and relationships.
She adapts the mix to what helps most for the concern at hand. She has five years of experience and is listed with BACP and NCPS. She practises in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.

Online support
Cognitive-behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behaviour that maintain depression and anxiety. It uses practical exercises and homework to change unhelpful thinking and improve daily coping.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy emphasises understanding emotional responses in relationships and how those patterns affect closeness and conflict. It can help people who are struggling with attachment, separation, infidelity or ongoing relationship distress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful. That way the method can shift over time, mixing short-term coping tools with deeper exploration when needed.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy fit day-to-day life. Video is useful for a face-to-face feel, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, chat or messaging suit short check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options give flexibility for busy schedules and different communication styles.
