About Sibell
Sibell Ali is a humanistic counsellor registered with the BACP who has worked in the UK for 10 years. She offers a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what feels difficult. Her approach emphasises listening and helping people find their own strengths.
Her sessions are calm and compassionate. She encourages people to explore feelings at their own pace and to notice what matters to them. She believes people already have resources they can build on, and therapy helps uncover those resources.
Background and approach
Sibell primarily uses Client-Centred Therapy, and she adapts her work to suit each person. That means the conversation is shaped by the client’s concerns rather than a fixed formula. She brings an open, accepting attitude to topics such as anxiety, stress, grief, trauma and relationship worries.
She has experience supporting those facing family problems, bereavement, attachment or abandonment issues, and difficulties linked to chronic illness or disability. Other areas she works with include self-esteem, communication problems, eating and food-related issues, and feelings of isolation or emptiness. Sessions are offered in English and she works with people from a range of backgrounds and cultures.
Her tone is encouraging and steady, aimed at helping people make practical changes and feel less alone with what they are facing.
Client‑centred care online and how it helps
Sibell works from a Client‑Centred Therapy stance which puts the person’s experience at the centre of the session. This approach means the counsellor listens deeply, follows what matters to the client, and reflects feelings back so the person can make sense of them. It is helpful for issues like anxiety, low self‑esteem and relationship concerns where being heard matters.She combines that with a broad humanistic outlook that emphasises acceptance and compassion. That style suits people who want a calmer, supportive space rather than a highly structured programme. Deciding which way of working to use is a shared process – the therapist and client choose what fits best based on needs and goals, and they adjust as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you read facial cues and tone, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text‑based messaging can suit shorter check‑ins or days when writing feels simpler. Those options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and health needs while still getting regular support from registered professionals.
