About Marta

Marta Sibilska is a BACP registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression and issues around guilt and shame. Marta also supports those dealing with addiction, relationship and family concerns, parenting strains, work pressures and life changes.

She keeps sessions practical and person-focused. Marta listens to what matters most and helps people talk through difficult feelings. Conversations aim to make everyday choices clearer and to reduce the pull of overwhelming emotions.

Her approach draws on client-centred therapy and cognitive behavioural techniques. She uses mindfulness and solution-focused ideas to help people notice patterns, test small changes and build clearer coping skills. Motivational interviewing is used when people want help with behaviour change, such as dealing with drug or alcohol issues.

Marta works with the emotional effects of illness and loss, including hospice and end-of-life concerns, cancer-related distress and bereavement. She also supports people experiencing emptiness, isolation, panic attacks, postpartum depression and post-traumatic stress. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps as well as understanding the feelings underneath.

She offers therapy in English and Polish. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Marta draws on client-centred therapy to focus on the person's own perspective. This approach involves listening without judgement and helping the person find their own solutions, which can suit grief, anxiety and self-worth concerns.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT is practical and helps with anxiety, panic, depression and patterns that keep guilt and shame active.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Marta will discuss goals, try methods that fit the person's needs, and adjust plans as sessions progress. That helps ensure techniques match what the person wants to change and how they prefer to work.

If you want online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow a shorter work-break check-in, or avoid travel time. Registered and accredited professionals often adapt exercises and mindfulness practices for remote sessions so that progress can continue between meetings.
