About Sibell

Sibell Ali is a Humanistic counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has practised for 10 years in the United Kingdom and offers a warm, empathic space for people to talk about hard things. Sibell emphasises listening and acceptance as a foundation for change.

She encourages clients to notice their strengths and to use those strengths to face difficulties. Sibell’s approach is client-centred, which means she places the person’s experience at the heart of the work.

Background and approach

She adapts what happens in sessions to suit each person rather than following a fixed formula. That can include gentle reflection, paced questioning and space to make sense of difficult feelings. People come to Sibell with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma.

She also supports those facing relationship strains, family problems, issues with self-esteem and life changes. Additional focus areas she works with include attachment and abandonment concerns, chronic illness or pain, separation and divorce, and gender dysphoria. Sibell aims to make the room feel accepting and non-judgemental.

She believes that being heard helps people find clarity and build on what already works for them. Sessions are practical and conversational rather than overly clinical. Her practice offers several online options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.

Sessions are arranged by completing an initial matching questionnaire and scheduling according to availability.

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.

Client-centred support available online

Sibell primarily uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening, acceptance and the person’s own experience. This approach helps when someone needs space to talk, to be heard and to make sense of feelings like grief, anxiety or low mood.

She works in a humanistic way that adapts to the person in front of her rather than following a strict method. That means sessions are shaped by your needs and goals, and the therapist will check in with you to find what works best together.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller face-to-face feel, phone calls work well when video would be difficult, and chat or messaging can fit brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life and to choose the format that suits you practically.
