Marta Sibilska, BACP

Marta Sibilska is a psychotherapist and counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions and life changes. She also helps with relationship and family difficulties, parenting strains, workplace issues, low self-esteem and trauma. Marta works in English and Polish and practises in the United Kingdom.

Marta uses straightforward conversation to help people untangle what feels overwhelming. Sessions focus on talking through problems and past experiences to rebuild hope and self-awareness. She adapts the pace to each person and aims for practical steps that fit everyday life.

Her approach combines client-led listening with goal-focused methods. This means clients shape sessions while also trying small, concrete changes between meetings. Marta draws on techniques that help spot unhelpful thinking patterns and develop coping tools for panic, low mood and anxiety.

Marta has four years of experience in counselling and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works with people dealing with serious life events, including cancer, end-of-life care, and bereavement, and with those facing addiction or feelings of emptiness.

People can expect a respectful, non-judgemental space where the therapist and client decide together what works best. Marta helps people identify priorities, set small goals and try different ways of coping until they find what helps them move forward.

How Marta's approaches translate to online counselling

Marta often uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience without judgement, helping them feel heard and clearer about their priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and teaches simple tools to reduce anxiety, manage low mood and tackle panic attacks.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Marta will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then try approaches together and adjust as needed. The aim is to find methods that fit the client's daily life and produce manageable steps forward.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats Marta currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time and support regular check-ins. Sessions done without video can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, while video sessions allow for more face-to-face dialogue. Confirm the available formats and scheduling details when you sign up so sessions suit your routine and needs.
