About Sabita

Dr. Sabita Kesu helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and hard life changes. She communicates plainly and creates a calm space for people to talk about what is worrying them.

With 12 years of experience, she aims to make starting therapy easier and less daunting. Her approach is collaborative. She listens first, then works with each person to build practical ways to manage symptoms and meet goals.

Sessions focus on small, doable steps that can improve day-to-day life and coping skills.

02

How Sabita works

Dr Kesu offers specialist assessment and formulation for complex mental health problems. She supports people dealing with grief, relationship issues, addictions, sleep problems, anger and low self-esteem. Her work also covers trauma related concerns including sexual assault and post-traumatic stress.

Clinically, she draws on several evidence-based therapies. These include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy among others. Treatment plans are tailored to the individual rather than using a single method.

People can expect a respectful, non-judgemental environment where thoughts and feelings are named and explored. She emphasises recovery-focused perspectives so clients can build sustainable routines and coping strategies. The aim is steady progress, not instant fixes.

Online support options

Therapy approaches you can use online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values. It often suits those coping with anxiety, low mood or life changes because it focuses on meaningful steps rather than eliminating every symptom. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy examines how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and teaches practical skills for changing unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, listen to what matters to the client and agree a plan that fits their goals and preferences. Decisions about methods are made collaboratively and can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.

Online sessions can be done by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual connection helps with rapport and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can work well for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing to speaking or need flexible, on-the-go support. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping treatment consistent.

A practical next step

Write down two things you would want to be different in six months. That is the most useful thing to bring to a first session, whoever it is with. If you would rather start now than keep reading, online sessions are the quickest route.
