About Sibell
Sibell Ali is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has ten years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, family matters, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, LGBT concerns, relationship difficulties, self-esteem and coping with life changes. Sessions are offered in English and draw on a person-centred way of working as a core approach.
Sibell uses a humanistic, person-centred stance that treats the client as the expert in their own life. She listens without judgement and encourages clients to speak about what matters to them. The pace is set by the person attending, and practical concerns are looked at alongside feelings and relationships.
Her practice also pays attention to attachment and abandonment issues, and she works with people facing chronic illness or pain, dissociation, eating or food-related difficulties, and the effects of divorce or separation. People who feel isolated, ashamed or empty can bring those experiences to sessions and explore them in a conversational way.
Sibell describes working integratively, bringing in different ideas as needed while keeping person-centred care at the core. That means she might focus on communication skills one week and on processing grief the next, depending on what the client needs. She aims to help people notice strengths they already have and use them to manage the next steps in life.

How her approach translates to online work
Sibell draws primarily on person-centred ideas. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting and following the client’s concerns. It is often used for stress, anxiety, relationship worries and feelings of emptiness because it helps people speak about what matters without pressure.She also works from a humanistic perspective and uses integrative elements when useful. That means practical communication skills or grief work may be brought in alongside open-ended conversation. These methods support work on attachment, abandonment, chronic illness, dissociation and other focused problems.
Choosing the right way of working is part of the first conversations. She will collaborate with the person to decide what feels most helpful based on their goals and circumstances. Clients and the counsellor review progress and adjust the approach over time rather than committing to one method up front.
The original biography does not list specific session formats here, so please confirm which formats are available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a working day, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins when problems spike. They also let people choose quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera if that helps them engage.
