Akin Omobitan

I have some morning and afternoon availability for online sessions on weekdays. Let me know which days work for you and I'll provide you with my current availability.

Something has brought you here. Let’s talk about it.

Hello, my name is Akin, I'm a therapist who specialises in psychodynamic, person-centred and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). I help people resolve issues related to anxiety, depression and stress, people who wish to experience change, healing and self-discovery.

Past or present issues such as trauma, abuse, abandonment or crises, for example, may be affecting you today, leaving you worried about your future. As a result, it's possible you now find yourself in states of low self-esteem, low self-confidence or in need of help with anger management or support with urges and addictions. Maybe you feel you have a poor relationship with yourself and others, you have a low level of trust in yourself, or you find yourself ruminating over your unhealthy behaviours and unfortunate outcomes. For many, therapy is, and has been, a proven way forward.

What I offer is the therapeutic time and space needed for you to freely process issues affecting you, with help and without judgement. My therapy style involves me bringing myself, connecting with you and the two of us forming a sincere, therapeutic relationship. I am an integrative therapist, meaning I use a range of approaches based on your needs, your story, and the depth of our work.

My aim is to help you gain insights about yourself and your issues, to help you connect with your emotions and express yourself authentically. Together we will work towards growth, change, and healing. This can result in trusting yourself more, a reduction of internal conflict and you using your agency to make healthier decisions. We will explore your relationship with yourself, others, and the world. By examining how these are linked to your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, you can develop new ways of living that are more aligned with your values, beliefs and priorities.

I offer online, 1 to 1 therapy sessions for adults, with each session lasting 50 minutes.

I offer long or short-term therapy. If you’re unsure, that's okay, we will discuss this beforehand and as we go.

For our work to be effective, I’d like you to come as you are. As best as you can, bring your authentic self; scars, shadows, fears, hopes and all, and be ready to engage in the process. I understand therapy can be challenging, scary, frustrating, and unusual. It can, however, also be transformative.

I have a special interest in helping people work through relationship issues. These often take the form of:

• Family issues
• Parenting issues
• Romantic and sexual partner(s) issues - including, but not limited to, affairs, betrayals, separation and divorce
• Friendship and loneliness issues
• Workplace and colleagues issues

I have a background in stand-up comedy and podcasting. I am no longer active in either, however, experiences in both contribute to my drive to help people express themselves.

I offer a free, 15 minute introductory call. This is to hear about what brings you to therapy and to see whether we might be a good fit.

Our initial session will be used to establish how we'll work together, to collaboratively complete an assessment and to begin delving into what has brought you here.

I have in-person and online availability on weekdays.

In-person sessions take place in Bristol, BS3, on Mondays and Thursdays (afternoons and evenings).

Online sessions can take place on any weekday (mornings, afternoons or evenings).

Let me know which days work for you and I'll provide you with my current availability and your options.
