Therapeutic approaches and how they translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the person is guided to explore their own feelings and find their own solutions; this approach is helpful for issues like self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, and it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) works with emotions and attachment patterns to improve how people relate to others, making it useful for couples, family difficulties, and deep-seated relational wounds.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Dr. Kobe Akanmu works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This process is shared and flexible so that the chosen approach aligns with what the client hopes to achieve.

Online therapy offers practical advantages for many people - video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, phone sessions remove travel barriers, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit those who prefer written communication or need more immediate, flexible support. These options make therapy more accessible and easier to fit into busy lives while enabling registered professionals and therapists to deliver meaningful, tailored care.
