About Sabita

Dr. Sabita Kesu welcomes people who feel overwhelmed by stress, relationship strain, anxiety or grief. She writes plainly and listens closely so clients can talk about what matters. Her style aims to be calm and non-judgemental, helping people take small steps to feel steadier and more in control.

With 12 years of experience working in the United Kingdom, Dr Kesu offers help for a wide range of difficulties. These include trauma and abuse, complex post-traumatic stress, depression, addiction and sleep problems. She also supports people coping with anger, low self-esteem, career decisions and life changes such as divorce or separation.

Her way of working is collaborative and practical. She and the client map out problems together, identify patterns of thought and behaviour, and try methods that can reduce distress day to day. Sessions focus on clear strategies as well as recognizing emotional needs and values.

Dr Kesu uses a variety of evidence-informed approaches, drawing on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Emotionally-Focused techniques and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy when helpful. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is also part of her practice for trauma-related work.

She is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council, HCPC. People who prefer English can work with her, and she accepts international clients. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to her schedule.

Taking the first step can feel hard, and she aims to make the process straightforward and respectful for each person who reaches out.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with what matters to them. It can help when anxiety, low mood or life changes make it hard to act in line with personal values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going, and is often used for anxiety, depression and sleep difficulties. Emotionally-Focused work helps people better recognise and name emotions, and can be useful for relationship stress and processing painful feelings.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods together, and tailor the plan as sessions progress. This collaborative stance means the work can shift if something is not fitting or helping.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions around work and family life, shorter check-ins when needed, and options that suit different energy levels such as camera-on or audio-only conversations. Since the biography does not list specific session formats, please confirm the available online options when booking. Registered or accredited professionals can offer online work that helps people access consistent support without lengthy travel, and sessions are adjusted to make therapy useful in everyday routines.
