About Sibell
Sibell Ali is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has worked in therapeutic roles for 10 years. Her practice emphasises a warm, empathic approach that helps people feel heard as they talk about difficult things.
She describes her core approach as Person Centred therapy and draws on other methods as needed to suit each person. Sessions focus on listening without judgement and building the client’s own strengths. Sibell encourages self-compassion while people make sense of painful or confusing experiences.
Common issues she helps people with include stress, anxiety, grief and depression. She also supports people dealing with relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, and challenges around identity such as gender dysphoria and LGBT concerns. Additional areas of focus include chronic illness and pain, attachment and abandonment worries, and feelings of isolation.
Sibell works with people from varied backgrounds and cultural viewpoints and aims to respect those differences in sessions. Her style is calm and patient, combining gentle questioning with space for reflection. Clients who prefer a non-directive, empathic listener may find her approach helpful.
To begin she asks people to sign up and complete a short matching questionnaire so sessions can be scheduled according to her availability. Fees vary with location and are provided through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
Person Centred support and online access
Person Centred Therapy focuses on being listened to with empathy and without judgement. It helps people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unheard by creating a space where their thoughts and feelings are received and reflected back. This approach is useful for stress, relationship worries, grief and issues around identity.Sibell also draws on complementary humanistic methods when helpful, adapting the way she works to suit each person. Choosing the right approach is part of the work together; she will discuss options and decide with the client which direction feels most helpful for their goals and preferences.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Talking by remote means can help keep continuity during life changes and lets the therapist and client focus on the issues that matter in a flexible way.
