About Sabita

Dr. Sabita Kesu offers support for men looking to manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain and other life challenges. She is a reassuring presence who aims to help people find clearer ways to cope and move forward. Dr. Kesu works in a calm, non-judgemental manner and encourages open conversation about difficult feelings.

She has 12 years of professional experience and is registered with the HCPC. Her work focuses on complex mental health difficulties, including post-traumatic stress and trauma related concerns. She also helps with grief, low mood, addictions, sleep problems, anger and issues around self-esteem and body image.

In sessions she and the person she is working with create a shared understanding of the problem. That understanding then guides practical, evidence-based techniques aimed at reducing distress and improving day-to-day functioning. The approach is collaborative and paced to the person’s needs.

Dr. Kesu draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Emotionally-Focused approaches among others. She uses these methods to shape assessments, treatment plans and short-term strategies as well as longer-term work for more complex presentations.

Her style is gentle and focused on recovery, with attention to building skills as well as processing difficult experiences. People who value a thoughtful, steady counsellor who listens and helps them plan practical next steps may find her way of working helpful.

How therapeutic approaches can work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and practising small changes to feel better and function more effectively. It is often applied to anxiety, depression and sleep problems. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress and improving relationships, which can help with anger, self-esteem and impulse difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences and suggest methods that seem likely to help. Decisions about which techniques to use are made collaboratively and can be adjusted over time.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins around work breaks, or offering a quieter space when that suits you. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt ACT, CBT and DBT techniques to online sessions so that practical skills and therapeutic tasks can be practised between meetings.
