About Sibell
Sibell Ali is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has worked in the field for 10 years and focuses on creating a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what matters to them. Her style is empathic and person-centred.
She encourages clients to notice their strengths and to treat themselves with more compassion. Sessions are conversational and paced to suit each person rather than rushing through topics.
Background and approach
Sibell supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma. She also helps with relationship concerns, family difficulties, self-esteem and coping with big life changes. LGBT matters and gender dysphoria are listed among the areas she addresses.
She works with issues that commonly arise alongside emotional pain, such as attachment and abandonment concerns, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, and isolation or loneliness. Practical problems like chronic illness or pain, eating and food-related issues, and communication or commitment problems are also within her focus. Sibell describes therapy as a collaborative process.
She listens without judgement and helps people find their own way forward. If you decide to start, she will invite you to share what you need and set a rhythm that fits your life.

How client-centred work fits with online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor offers empathic listening, reflection and acceptance to help someone feel heard and understood. This approach is often helpful for anxiety, depression, grief and relationship difficulties because it focuses on the person’s own goals and pace.Sibell also works integratively within that person-centred frame, drawing on different ways of responding to meet a client’s needs. That means she will work with you to decide what feels most helpful rather than applying a single method. Choosing the right way of working is a collaborative process based on your concerns, preferences and goals.
Confirm which session formats are available before booking, as the biography does not specify formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also help people stay connected to a counsellor from different parts of the UK. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements and what will best match your circumstances when you start.
