About Sibell
BACP. 10 years of professional experience. Sibell Ali is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works with stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. She uses Client-Centred Therapy as her core approach and describes her practice as person-centred and integrative.
Sibell invites people to talk through what is happening for them and to notice their own strengths. Sessions focus on listening without judgement and helping the person make sense of difficult feelings. She aims to offer a steady, respectful presence while people work through painful events or ongoing worries.
Her background includes ten years working directly with people in counselling settings. That experience has covered relationship difficulties, family problems and bereavement as well as longer-term issues such as chronic pain, illness and attachment-related concerns. She also lists work around LGBT issues, gender dysphoria, eating and food-related difficulties, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
In practice she draws on person-centred ideas alongside other helpful ways of working when appropriate. This means the focus is on the client's experience and on building a working relationship that supports whatever change the person seeks. Conversations may look at patterns such as abandonment or commitment worries, communication problems and difficulties with trust.
Sessions are conducted in English. International clients are not currently accepted. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people are asked to use the See online counselling options button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her client-centred approach fits online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding the person's experience and responding with acceptance and active listening. This approach helps when someone is dealing with anxiety, grief, trauma or relationship strains because the work centres on the client's perspective and feelings.In practice Sibell pairs person-centred ideas with other helpful ways of working when needed. That means she and the client look together at what is most useful - for example focusing on emotional processing, improving communication, or noticing patterns such as abandonment and attachment issues. The choice of approach is collaborative and can change as sessions progress.
If you are considering online counselling, confirm the session formats Sibell currently offers before booking. Many people find online work easier to fit around daily life, for example by avoiding travel, fitting a short session into a break, or choosing a lower-bandwidth option when connection is limited. Online sessions can make it simpler to keep continuity during life changes while still allowing the client and counsellor to focus on the issues that matter most.
