About Sibell

Sibell Ali is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, with ten years of professional experience. She offers a warm, human approach that encourages people to talk about what matters to them. Her style is compassionate and non-judgemental, aimed at helping someone feel heard and understood.

She uses Person Centred work as her main approach and adapts other ideas when they help a person move forward.

Background and approach

In practice this means she follows what you bring and helps you find your own solutions. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting, and building on your strengths. Sibell has a particular interest in trauma and abuse, grief, stress and anxiety, and low mood.

She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, family difficulties, identity questions and self‑esteem concerns. Other areas she addresses include attachment and abandonment issues, chronic illness and pain, and problems with eating or dissociation. People can expect a steady, patient pace in sessions and an emphasis on self-compassion.

Sibell welcomes different cultures and perspectives and works to create an atmosphere of respect. Her aim is to help clients notice small changes that add up over time. If someone wants to begin, Sibell encourages taking the first practical step of contacting the service and completing a short questionnaire to find a match.

From there sessions can be arranged to suit practical needs and preferences.

Ways of working Sibell names

Client-Centred Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Sibell’s person‑centred approach translates online

Sibell’s core approach is Person Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening without judgement and helping people find their own answers. This approach is useful for issues like low self‑esteem, relationship struggles and grief because it prioritises the client’s experience and pace.

She also works integratively, drawing on other helpful ideas when needed to support coping with trauma, anxiety or chronic illness. Integrative work means the therapist adapts the conversation to what the person needs in the moment rather than following a rigid method.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and is decided together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, and tailor sessions to what helps the client make steady progress. This collaborative way of working helps people feel involved in planning their own steps.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text‑based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is good when visual connection helps the conversation, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, and text or live chat suit shorter check‑ins or times when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caring commitments or mobility limits, while still getting regular support from a registered professional.
