Sibell Ali

I work solely online with adults across the UK, offering 50–minute sessions via Zoom.

I offer a free 20–minute introductory session so we can get to know each other a little and see if we feel like a good fit.

I currently have daytime availability.

Please feel free to get in touch to find out more or to book an introductory Zoom call.

You may feel under constant pressure trying to hold things together – overthinking decisions, worrying about getting things wrong, or feeling as though you’re never quite doing enough. Perhaps you’ve spent years masking parts of yourself to meet expectations, or find yourself procrastinating when your inner critic becomes louder. At times, it can be hard to fully believe your own competence, and that self-doubt can feel so convincing that it doesn’t feel like doubt at all.

For some, ADHD traits, perfectionism or long-standing anxiety sit at the heart of these patterns. Over time, what began as ways of coping can gradually influence the way you see yourself, including the labels or assumptions you may have come to accept over time.

I work exclusively online with adults across the UK who want to understand these patterns more deeply. Together, we explore where these coping strategies began, how they protect you, and how you might begin to relate to yourself with more clarity, steadiness and self-trust.

In our work together, you can expect a calm, supportive presence. I won’t diagnose or analyse from a distance. Instead, I’ll listen with care, offer gentle challenge when helpful, and support you in exploring your experiences at your own pace.

My practice is grounded in humanistic therapy but I work integratively, meaning it is not one–size–fits–all: I’ll adapt to support your individuality, needs, and preferences. You may choose to talk, reflect, or explore ideas creatively. We’ll always discuss what feels right for you – it’s an invitation, never an expectation, to take part in anything that doesn’t feel comfortable. The therapeutic space is yours, and I’m here to walk alongside you.

Approaches 

Humanistic therapy recognises the uniqueness of each person and supports self–directed growth. I believe each person has the capacity for growth, self–awareness, and transformation.

Person–centred principles – such as empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard – are central to how I build a safe, trusting relationship with clients.

Drawing from drama therapy, I bring creativity into the therapeutic space through exploring roles, which can be helpful in engaging with emotions, relationships, and inner experiences in an imaginative way – even in an online setting.

My practice is also parts–informed – which means I may gently invite you to explore different ‘parts’ of yourself and what each part is trying to communicate or protect, and the role it may have developed over time.

Gestalt therapy adds a focus on present–moment awareness and encourages exploration of the connection between thoughts, feelings, and body sensations. It’s particularly helpful for identifying patterns and deepening insight.

At the heart of my practice is compassion – creating a space where you can explore your experiences without judgement, feel seen and heard, and begin to grow in your own way. It’s also a space to gently cultivate self–compassion and deeper understanding.

The thought of a first session might feel daunting – maybe even a little scary. I aim to put you at ease by offering a warm, welcoming space where you can feel safe and comfortable with me.

I’ll invite you to share a little about what has brought you to therapy at this time, what you’re hoping for, and what you might like to explore or work towards. This gives us a starting point – but it doesn’t limit what we focus on. Your goals may shift and evolve over time, and we’ll regularly review the work together as it unfolds.
