About

About Sabita

Dr. Sabita Kesu is a HCPC registered clinician practising in the United Kingdom with 12 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger and relationship problems, and supports those coping with trauma, grief and complex mental health issues.

She uses straightforward conversation to identify what is getting in the way day to day. Sessions focus on practical strategies to reduce distress and on understanding unhelpful patterns. The aim is to help people find clearer choices when emotions feel overwhelming.

Her background includes assessments, psychological formulation and interventions for complex difficulties. She draws on a mix of evidence-based approaches so people can try methods that suit them and their situation. This includes work for post-traumatic stress and problems that have developed over many years.

In session she encourages a collaborative way of working. That means setting goals together and checking what helps as therapy progresses. People who come for help with anger often learn skills for noticing triggers, managing physical reactions, and changing responses that cause regret.

Practical issues such as sleep problems, addiction or career stress are part of the work when they matter. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients through the platform. To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them, then identify values-based steps to take. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and provides practical exercises to change patterns that maintain problems. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) offers skills for regulating intense emotions and improving distress tolerance, which can be useful when anger or overwhelm feels frequent.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options with each person and decide together what to try first based on the client’s goals and what feels workable. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted as the client notices what helps.

If you want to use online sessions, confirm the exact session formats available before booking. The main practical benefits of remote work are fitting appointments around the day, avoiding travel, and having shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find video useful for face-to-face-style conversation, while others prefer audio for lower bandwidth or a quicker phone-style session. Registered or accredited professionals can often adapt exercises used in CBT, ACT and DBT to work in remote sessions, helping people practise skills between meetings.
