Background and approach
People can expect to talk through what matters most and try small steps between sessions. Dr. Akanmu draws on several approaches to shape therapy around a person’s needs.
She uses client-centred ways to create a comfortable space, cognitive behavioural ideas to spot and change unhelpful thoughts, and emotionally-focused work to address relationship pain. She also uses psychodynamic thinking to look at past patterns and solution-focused methods to set achievable short-term goals. In practice she listens first, then suggests options that fit each person’s life and values.
Appointments can include discussion of feelings, practical coping strategies, and exercises to try outside sessions. Sessions aim to make everyday life feel more manageable. She offers work in English and sees people in the United Kingdom.
Online formats include video calls, phone, live chat and text messaging, so people can choose what suits them best.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Dr. Akanmu uses client-centred methods and cognitive behavioural therapy in her online work. Client-centred work focuses on listening and building a trusting space so people can speak freely and explore what matters to them. Cognitive behavioural therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and tries practical techniques to change them, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative planning means sessions can combine emotional exploration, practical coping strategies and short-term goal setting as needed.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can fit shorter check-ins or busy days. These options aim to make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family and everyday life.
