About Sabita

Dr. Sabita Kesu helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or relationship difficulties. She presents information calmly and uses clear language.

Her approach is warm and non-judgemental so people can talk about painful experiences without feeling blamed. She has 12 years of clinical experience and is registered with the HCPC. Dr Kesu works collaboratively with each person to find practical ways to manage symptoms and move forward.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on what is useful in daily life rather than on jargon. She offers specialist assessment and formulation for complex mental health difficulties. That includes work with trauma, complex post-traumatic stress and other layered problems where many difficulties overlap.

She helps people make sense of their experiences and plan steps for recovery. A range of evidence-based approaches inform her practice, including cognitive behavioural techniques and methods that target emotional processing. The goal is to build skills for coping, to reduce distress, and to restore a sense of control.

Therapy is adapted around each person’s needs and aims. Dr Kesu also supports people dealing with addiction, sleep problems, anger, career stress and self-esteem concerns. She addresses issues such as body image, abandonment, sexual assault and bereavement in straightforward, practical sessions.

Taking the first step can feel hard, and she encourages small, manageable steps forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Dr Kesu draws on cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy as core tools. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical skills to change patterns that maintain distress. Acceptance and commitment therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and learn to take committed action even when uncomfortable feelings are present.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. She will discuss different methods with each person and choose or blend approaches based on the client’s goals, life situation and preferences. This collaborative planning helps tailor sessions so work feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow more face-to-face style conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family commitments and travel, while still using the same therapeutic approaches described above.
