Marta Sibilska, BACP

Marta Sibilska is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, addiction and low self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with depression, panic, trauma and major life changes. Marta speaks English and Polish and practises within the United Kingdom.

Marta aims for clear, practical conversations that feel calm and respectful. She listens without judgement and adapts sessions to what each person needs. People can expect a straightforward pace and a focus on what matters most right now.

Her approach draws on a mix of talking therapies and goal-focused tools. Sessions may include exploring thoughts and behaviours, building new coping strategies, and practising mindfulness skills to manage overwhelming feelings. Motivational techniques can help when someone wants to change habits such as substance use.

Marta has four years of experience working with loss, bereavement and workplace wellbeing as well as relationship and family concerns. She has particular interest in supporting people through cancer, hospice and end-of-life questions, and postpartum difficulties. Her work also covers guilt, shame, loneliness and issues around life purpose.

Marta is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She uses an initial assessment to agree goals and choose the most suitable combination of methods. Sessions are shaped around each person’s goals, pace and practical needs.

Therapy approaches and how they work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping people find their own answers. The counsellor offers non-judgemental support and reflects what matters most so the person can build self-understanding and make choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and small behaviour changes to reduce anxiety, panic, low mood and unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before. Together they will try methods that match those needs and review progress, adjusting the plan when required so it remains useful and relevant.

Online sessions can be done by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video gives a face-to-face feel for deeper conversation. Phone sessions are a good option when lower bandwidth or less screen time is needed. Live chat or messaging can be used for shorter check-ins, practical problem solving and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
