About Kobe
Dr. Kobe Akanmu helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and the effects of trauma and abuse. She supports those struggling with self-esteem, relationship and family concerns, parenting strains, grief, anger and career worries.
She also works with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image, codependency and feelings of emptiness. Her style is warm and respectful. She listens first, then offers practical steps you can try between sessions.
Sessions are shaped around what you need, not a one-size-fits-all plan.
Background and approach
She aims to create space for honest conversation and gradual change. Kobe uses a mix of talking approaches to suit different problems. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to focus on the person and their experience.
She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot patterns of thinking that keep problems going. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps with strong feelings that affect relationships. Psychodynamic ideas are used to notice repeating life patterns, while Solution-Focused Therapy keeps short-term goals in view.
She has five years of clinical experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. Those letters appear as provided and indicate professional registration as supplied. Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and sessions are carried out in English.
Work is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. Sessions run on a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary with location and therapist availability. To begin, select the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss your goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together you will try methods and adjust the plan so it fits you, with the emphasis on collaboration and practical progress.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video is useful for a conversational, face-to-face feel. Phone sessions work if you need lower bandwidth or a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging can be helpful for quick updates, brief support between meetings or for those who find typed communication easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
