About Marta
Marta Sibilska is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression and challenges around life changes, addictions and relationships. Marta also supports those coping with parenting strain, workplace issues and questions about life purpose.
Marta uses straightforward conversation to help people notice what is getting in the way and to find manageable steps forward. She asks about what matters to each person and makes a plan together based on their goals. Sessions focus on practical ways to reduce distress and to rebuild day-to-day functioning after loss, trauma or a major change.
Her work draws on client-centred methods alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness. That means listening without judgement, noticing unhelpful thinking patterns, and experimenting with small changes in behaviour and attention. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused tools are used when people want to move through ambivalence and set short-term goals.
Marta is used to working with difficult emotions such as guilt, shame, anger and feelings of emptiness. She also addresses concerns linked to illness, hospice and end-of-life circumstances, and substance use problems. Conversations include practical communication skills and ways to manage panic or low mood.
Sessions are offered in English and Polish. Marta asks new enquirers to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first appointment, so the right approach can be agreed before work begins.
How Marta uses therapeutic approaches in online work
Marta commonly draws on client-centred practice and cognitive behavioural therapy in her work. Client-centred practice means listening closely and shaping the conversation around what matters to the person. It helps when someone needs to feel heard and to clarify priorities. CBT looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and offers practical experiments to reduce anxiety, manage low mood and change unhelpful reactions.She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice stress and become less caught up in automatic responses. Mindfulness can be useful for panic symptoms, rumination and for building steadier attention during stressful times. Deciding which approaches to use is a collaborative process; Marta discusses options during the first sessions and adapts the plan to fit a person's goals, preferences and the problems they want to address.
Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life, for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day, or using audio-only conversations when video is not wanted. Registered or accredited professionals can help find an approach and schedule that suit practical needs without promising a specific outcome.
