About Sibell
Sibell Ali is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has practised in the United Kingdom for 10 years and draws on humanistic, person-centred values in her work. Sibell offers a warm, non-judgemental space for people to talk about what matters to them.
Sibell encourages clients to speak about worries and everyday pressures with kindness towards themselves. She listens closely and reflects what she hears to help people make sense of difficult feelings. Her manner is calm and empathic, and she aims to make sessions feel straightforward and steady.
In practice she works with common life stresses such as anxiety, depression, grief and relationship concerns. She also supports people dealing with family difficulties, trauma and issues connected to gender and sexual identity. Additional areas Sibell focuses on include attachment and abandonment concerns, chronic illness or pain, and feelings of isolation or emptiness.
Her approach is based on Client-Centred Therapy, and she adapts the work to each person. That means she follows the client’s pace and focuses on what they say is important. Sessions are framed so the person themselves leads the work, while she provides space and reflection.
If someone is unsure about starting, Sibell aims to make the first steps simple. She invites people to consider what they most want to change or understand, and to begin from there.
How Client-Centred Work Translates to Online Therapy
Sibell practises Client-Centred Therapy, which means she follows what the client brings and offers empathic listening and reflection. This approach helps people who are dealing with stress, relationship concerns, grief and trauma by focusing on their experience and supporting self-understanding.Her humanistic perspective keeps the focus on the person rather than on strict techniques. That makes it straightforward to adapt the work to different ways of meeting and to the issues people bring. Together the therapist and client decide what pace and style of work suit best, and they review this as therapy progresses.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm what session formats are offered before booking. The practical advantages of remote sessions include easier fitting of therapy around work or childcare, the option to choose a quieter setting, and reduced travel time. Some people find shorter check-ins by phone useful when a full video session is not possible. Sibell will work collaboratively to find the arrangement that fits with a client’s needs, goals and day-to-day life.
