About Sibell

Sibell Ali is a humanistic counsellor registered with the BACP who has practised for ten years in the United Kingdom. She creates a warm, compassionate space where people can talk openly about what is worrying them. Her approach aims to help clients feel heard without judgement and to rebuild trust in their own choices.

She uses Person Centred therapy as her main approach and blends other methods when it helps an individual client. In sessions she encourages self-compassion and focuses on the person’s strengths rather than labels. This practical, down-to-earth style aims to make talking through painful or confusing feelings feel manageable.

Sibell has worked with a range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma and relationship difficulties. She also supports people dealing with family problems, attachment and abandonment worries, gender dysphoria, and eating and food-related issues. Her background includes helping people cope with chronic illness, dissociation, and separation after divorce.

She believes clients are the experts in their own lives and she offers steady, respectful listening to help them find their way forward. Sessions are paced to each person’s needs and she adapts her way of working to suit different cultural perspectives and life experiences.

If you are unsure what to expect, she guides people through the early sessions so goals become clearer. The focus is on small, achievable steps that build confidence and help with everyday coping.

How Person Centred therapy works online

Person Centred Therapy centres on the person and on listening with warmth and respect. The therapist offers an accepting space where someone can talk through feelings, build self-compassion and notice their own strengths. This approach is often used for anxiety, low mood, grief and relationship struggles.

She also practises in an integrative way, drawing on other helpful techniques as needed to suit each person. That means the method can be adapted over time as the goals and needs become clearer in sessions. Choosing the right approach is a shared process she will work through with the client.

Many people find online therapy useful because it can fit more easily into a busy life and remove travel time. It can also make it simpler to join a shorter check-in or a regular weekly session around work or other responsibilities. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered and what best fits your routine.

Finding the right therapeutic fit is part of the work, and she will help clients decide what feels most helpful based on their aims and preferences. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor pace and focus so conversations build toward practical steps that make daily life easier.
