About Sibell
Counsellor Sibell Ali is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has ten years of professional experience and lists stress, anxiety, family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, LGBT concerns, relationship problems, self-esteem and coping with life changes among her main areas of work.
Sibell uses a person-centred approach, sometimes called Client-Centred Therapy, and adapts her work in an integrative way. That means she focuses on what the client brings to sessions and listens with attention before suggesting other ways of working. Sessions aim to help people name what is difficult and try new ways of coping.
She often works with people dealing with loss, family conflict, relationship breakdowns and the after-effects of abuse. Additional areas Sibell lists include abandonment, attachment issues, chronic illness and pain, commitment and communication problems, dissociation, eating issues, gender dysphoria, guilt and shame, isolation and related concerns.
Sibell says she sees people from diverse backgrounds and cultures and respects differing views. Her practice is grounded in talking and listening, with an emphasis on helping clients recognise their own strengths and resources.
Practical steps to work with her are set out on the site. Prospective clients in the United Kingdom who want to begin can complete the brief matching questionnaire and book a first session using the See online counselling options button.
Client-Centred work and online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the individual’s experience. The therapist listens closely and reflects what the person says so they can better understand their feelings. This approach often helps with relationship problems, low self-esteem, grief and anxiety by giving people space to make sense of what they are feeling.Sibell also works integratively, which means she may bring in different ways of working when they suit a person’s needs. The choice of methods is discussed together, and she will help decide which approach to try based on the client’s goals and preferences. That decision is a collaborative part of the early sessions.
For practical details about online sessions, please confirm the current formats before booking. The site’s booking flow asks you to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow for quicker check-ins when that is helpful.
