About Sabita

Dr. Sabita Kesu offers a calm, steady presence for people dealing with anxiety, stress, low mood and concerns about eating and body image. She speaks plainly and listens carefully so clients can talk about difficult things without feeling judged. Her manner is warm and practical, aimed at helping people find clearer ways to cope and move forward.

With 12 years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom, Dr Kesu uses several well-known therapy methods to tailor support to each person. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to address unhelpful thinking patterns, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) skills for emotional regulation, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people live by their values. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy and trauma-focused approaches when relationships and past harm are central to the problem.

Sessions are collaborative and practical. Clients can expect to set clear goals, try out coping strategies between meetings, and review what helps. Dr Kesu emphasises recovery-focused thinking and works with people facing complex mental health challenges, including post-traumatic stress and grief.

She is registered with the HCPC, and sees people from across the UK and internationally in English. The therapeutic atmosphere she aims to create is accepting, steady and goal oriented, supporting people through difficult changes and into more manageable routines.

If you are considering therapy, the first step is often the hardest. Dr Kesu encourages those starting out and helps them plan the next steps at a pace that suits them.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings while still taking steps that matter to them. It focuses on values and small actions that build a more meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and eating concerns. Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) teaches specific skills for managing strong emotions and coping with crises, including mindfulness, distress tolerance and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is usually a joint process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before, then suggest one or a combination of approaches to try. That plan can be adjusted as therapy progresses so work stays relevant to the client's needs.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. For some people, remote sessions make it simpler to practise skills in everyday settings and to bring real-life examples into the conversation. Registered or accredited professionals can guide you on how to make online therapy work practically for your routine.
