About Sabita
Dr. Sabita Kesu welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck or worn down by depression, anxiety, loss or life change. She speaks plainly and listens closely so people can say what is on their mind.
Her approach is gentle and non-judgemental to help people feel able to talk about painful experiences. She has 12 years of professional experience and is registered with the HCPC. Her work often focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions and sleep problems.
Background and approach
Depression and coping with major life changes are also areas she helps people address. In sessions she works collaboratively to identify practical steps that make day-to-day life easier. That can mean learning coping skills, changing unhelpful thinking patterns, or practising ways to manage strong emotions.
She adapts methods to what a person prefers and needs rather than using the same plan for everyone. Her background includes work with complex trauma and complex mental health difficulties. She draws on a range of evidence-based therapies to build a formulation that fits each person’s situation.
She aims to create a calm space where difficult thoughts and feelings can be talked about without judgement. Taking the first step can feel hard and she acknowledges that courage. She supports people to set achievable goals and to notice small improvements as they move forward.

Online support
Deciding which method to use is a team effort. She will work with each person to choose approaches that match their needs, goals and preferences. That may mean trying a technique in one session and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility and easier access to regular support. Video calls let the therapist and client see facial expressions and body language for a fuller conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break from work. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, reflection between sessions and ongoing contact without the need to be on camera. Together these options help people maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into daily life.
