About Sabita

Dr Sabita Kesu is an HCPC-registered clinician in the United Kingdom with 12 years of practice. She helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and addictions. Sessions focus on managing day-to-day problems and on longer-term recovery for more complex mental health difficulties.

She takes a collaborative, direct approach. Conversations start by identifying what is most worrying now and what changes the person wants. From there she uses assessment and formulation to guide practical psychological work. Interventions draw on methods such as cognitive behavioural techniques, EMDR and dialectical approaches when they suit the issue.

Dr Kesu has particular experience with complex post-traumatic stress and other complicated mental health presentations. She also addresses sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, career stresses and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include body image, abandonment, divorce and separation, jealousy, sexual assault and abuse, and social anxiety.

Sessions involve talking through thoughts and patterns, learning practical coping skills and testing different ways of responding to difficult feelings. The clinician aims to help people notice small shifts that reduce distress and improve functioning over time.

People who prefer a straightforward, evidence-informed way of working may find this approach fits. The practice uses clinical assessment and structured psychological intervention where appropriate.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful patterns and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and life changes where avoidance has become a problem.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing thinking and behaviour patterns that maintain distress. It is often used for depression, anxiety, sleep problems and anger by teaching specific skills and behavioural experiments.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness. It can help when strong emotions, self-criticism or relationship difficulties cause repeated problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That plan can change as work progresses and as practical results are observed.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, by avoiding travel, enabling shorter check-ins or letting someone join from a different location. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and skills practice to suit remote appointments.
