Sibell Ali, BACP

Sibell Ali is a Humanistic counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has practised for 10 years and offers a warm, empathetic approach that helps people talk through difficult feelings without judgement. She invites clients to notice their strengths and use them to move forward.

Sibell keeps sessions simple and compassionate. She encourages clients to describe what they are facing and listens closely for what matters most. Conversations focus on the person’s experience and on building self-understanding rather than on labels.

Her core approach is client-centred therapy, used alongside other helpful ideas when they suit the person. This flexible way of working lets the counsellor respond to each person’s needs rather than following a fixed script. Sessions aim to make difficult topics easier to talk about.

Sibell has supported people with stress, anxiety, grief and depression. She also helps with relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and issues around self-esteem and identity. She works with matters such as attachment and abandonment, communication problems, and coping with chronic illness or pain.

People can expect a calm, non-judgemental space to explore their thoughts and feelings. Sibell emphasises compassion towards oneself and practical steps people can take between sessions. Her style is steady, patient and respectful of different backgrounds.

How client-centred work translates to online counselling

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and on the person’s own experience. The counsellor offers empathy, acceptance and gentle reflection to help people make sense of their feelings. This approach suits issues such as low self-esteem, relationship worries and anxiety because it helps people feel understood and valued.

Sibell also works integratively, using other helpful ideas when they fit what someone needs. That means the therapy can change over time to match a person’s goals and preferences. Finding the best way to work is a joint process she will talk through with each client.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life or manage mobility challenges. It can reduce travel time and let people have regular check-ins from different locations.
