About Sibell
Sibell Ali is a Humanistic counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has worked in the UK for 10 years. Her approach is warm and empathic and she encourages people to talk through what is happening for them with kindness towards themselves.
She believes conversation and being heard can make a real difference. Sibell uses a person-centred approach as her core method while drawing on other techniques when helpful. This means people set the pace and shape of sessions, and she mirrors back what she hears to help clarify feelings and choices.
Sibell has supported people with stress and anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and bereavement. She also works with concerns such as self-esteem, coping with life changes, and issues linked to gender and sexuality. Her practice includes focus areas like chronic illness, attachment and feelings of isolation.
Her style is steady and non-judgemental, with an emphasis on listening first. Sibell encourages people to notice their strengths and to build on them step by step. Conversations tend to be practical and grounded rather than full of jargon.
If someone is unsure what to expect, she will help them explore options and set simple goals. The aim is to make therapy fit into everyday life while addressing the things that cause distress. She asks people to be patient with themselves as they start this work together.
How client-centred work translates to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people find their own solutions. In practice this means the counsellor reflects back what is said, asks gentle questions, and follows the client's pace to build understanding. This approach often helps with anxiety, stress, relationship and grief issues by creating space to name difficult feelings.Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to decide which methods and goals feel right. That conversation can shift as therapy goes on, with the client steering what they want to focus on.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time. Different session formats are possible on many services but this profile does not list specific formats. Please confirm current session options with the service before booking. Online work can make it easier to maintain regular contact during periods of change, and it can suit those who need shorter check-ins or flexible scheduling.
