About Sibell
Sibell Ali is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has practised for 10 years in the United Kingdom. She offers a warm, empathic presence and aims to help people talk through what feels hard. She focuses on listening without judgement and helping people notice their own strengths.
Her way of working is based on Client-Centred Therapy, sometimes called Person-Centred work, where the person's experience leads the conversation.
Background and approach
She combines that approach with other helpful methods when it suits someone’s needs. Sessions are calm and paced to suit the person in front of her, with space to reflect and to try different perspectives. Sibell supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief and depression.
She also helps with relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and issues linked to LGBT and gender identity. Additional focuses include attachment and abandonment, communication problems, chronic illness or pain, dissociation, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Practical matters such as separation, divorce, eating issues, forgiveness and coping after disasters are also within her scope.
She encourages people to use their own resources and builds on what is already working in their lives. Sessions aim to make difficult things clearer and more manageable. People meet her style if they want a compassionate listener who offers straightforward talk and gentle challenge.
She works in English and sees people in the United Kingdom. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that suit them.

Approaches Sibell lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also adapts her way of working to suit practical needs, drawing on other helpful techniques when they fit a person’s goals. That flexibility means conversations can shift from exploring feelings to practical problem solving, depending on what a person wants to work on.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process and is decided together. The therapist checks in about goals and preferences, and they both agree on the best way to proceed. This collaborative planning helps ensure sessions feel relevant and useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, each offering practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing to speaking or need flexible timing. These options make therapy more accessible and easier to fit into busy lives.
