Sibell Ali
Experienced warm counsellor for everyday struggles
About Sibell
Sibell Ali is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, with ten years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She creates a warm, empathic space where people can talk about what is troubling them without judgement. Her manner is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at helping people feel heard and understood.
She uses a humanistic, client-centred approach as her foundation and draws on other methods when helpful.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on the person's experience and strengths rather than labels. The work is collaborative and paced to suit each person’s needs. People come to Sibell for help with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma and abuse.
She also supports those facing family problems, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and challenges related to gender and identity. Additional areas she addresses include abandonment, attachment issues, chronic illness and pain, eating concerns, and feelings of isolation. Sibell aims to help people notice patterns, build coping strategies and find small, workable changes.
She encourages self-compassion and practical steps that fit into daily life. Conversations are plain and focused on what matters most to the client. If someone prefers flexible session types, she offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.
To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and books a session according to the schedule offered.

Sessions & fees
Client-centred care and online therapy
Sibell’s main approach is Client-Centred Therapy, which places the person’s experience at the heart of the work. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said and helps people find their own answers. This approach is useful for stress, self-esteem issues, relationship concerns and life transitions.She also practises from a humanistic perspective, focusing on compassion, acceptance and the person’s strengths. That means sessions often explore values, personal meaning and small changes that feel doable. This style can be helpful for grief, trauma recovery and coping with chronic illness or isolation.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will check what the person wants to achieve and adjust the way they work to match those goals and preferences. This collaborative process aims to make therapy fit everyday life and personal needs.
Online therapy offers practical benefits such as flexibility and easier scheduling. Video calls allow fuller conversations and visual connection, phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is low, and live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or mobility limits and help people maintain continuity of care.
