About Sabita
Dr. Sabita Kesu helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, depression and difficulties arising from trauma and abuse. She works with people facing addiction, sleep problems, anger, self‑esteem concerns, career strain and complex mental health issues. Dr Kesu is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and has 12 years of professional experience.
Her way of working is collaborative. She encourages open discussion of thoughts and feelings and helps clients identify practical strategies to manage day to day difficulties. Sessions focus on understanding what keeps a problem going and testing small changes that make life easier to manage.
Dr Kesu offers specialist clinical assessment, formulation and psychological interventions for complex presentations. She lists particular experience with complex post‑traumatic stress, trauma and abuse, and grief and loss. She also supports people with abandonment issues, body image concerns, divorce and separation, family problems, jealousy and men's and women's issues.
Her practice draws on several evidence‑based approaches. These include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Emotionally‑Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Techniques are selected to match each person’s needs and goals.

How her approaches work in online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behaviour that keep problems going and testing practical alternatives; it is often used for anxiety, depression and sleep problems. Emotionally‑Focused Therapy (EFT) works with emotional responses and relationship patterns to help people understand and change interactions that cause distress.
Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and how a particular method might help, then agree practical steps to try in sessions and between them. This is a collaborative process and may draw on more than one method depending on need.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm session options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑in meetings when a quick update is needed. It also lets people work with therapists who practise in different locations. Registered and accredited professionals will discuss whether a particular format suits your needs when you arrange the first session.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
