About Sabita
Counsellor and HCPC registrant Dr. Sabita Kesu has 12 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, depression, addictions and sleep difficulties. She also supports work on self-esteem, anger and coping with life changes.
Dr Kesu uses straightforward, evidence-based methods to address complex mental health difficulties. She works collaboratively with each person to identify practical ways to manage symptoms and move forward. Sessions focus on what is causing distress and what steps can reduce it.
Her background includes clinical assessment, formulation and psychological intervention for people with complex needs, including post-traumatic stress. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused approaches alongside other methods.
In the first sessions she listens to current problems and past events that matter. Together with the client she builds a plan that sets clear goals and small steps to try between meetings. Progress is reviewed regularly so the work can be adjusted if needed.
Dr Kesu offers help in English and accepts international clients. People who are thinking about counselling are invited to consider whether they want short-term, goal-focused work or longer support, and to use the online matching process to arrange an initial appointment.
Therapeutic approaches used and how online counselling works
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches skills to change patterns that cause distress. It often suits problems like anxiety, depression and sleep difficulties. Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, DBT, focuses on emotion regulation and practical skills to manage strong feelings and improve relationships.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The counsellor will talk about goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit the issues at hand. That plan can be adjusted as the work progresses so the approach remains relevant to the person’s needs.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find it helpful to have sessions at times that suit their daily routines, and the counsellor will discuss practical arrangements when you book.
