About Sabita
Dr. Sabita Kesu is a HCPC-registered practitioner in the United Kingdom with 12 years of clinical work. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and related issues. Her approach is practical and collaborative, with a clear focus on managing day-to-day difficulties and restoring routine functioning.
She uses a range of evidence-based methods, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) where appropriate. Sessions are built around identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits, then practising different ways of responding. The aim is to give simple, repeatable tools people can use between meetings.
Dr. Kesu offers clinical assessment, formulation and psychological intervention for more complex mental health problems. She pays attention to how symptoms affect daily life and works with people to set concrete goals. This includes addressing issues such as sleeping problems, anger, addictions, and difficulties with self-esteem and body image.
Practical matters such as career strain, coping with life change, and compassion fatigue are also within her remit. She can work with people after sexual assault, separation or loss, and with those experiencing post-traumatic stress. International clients may be accepted and sessions are conducted in English.

How her therapeutic approaches work online
Dr. Kesu commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes to reduce distress and improve routines. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed steps towards those values while learning to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck.She treats the choice of approach as collaborative. In early sessions she carries out assessment and formulation, and then discusses with the client which approach or combination to try. The process is about finding methods that match the person's goals, practical constraints and preferences rather than imposing a single model.
If you plan to use online sessions, check the platform's session options before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use tools and worksheets together during a session, or practise behavioural experiments between meetings to build new habits.
