Albert Sobilo
I'm an integrative counsellor based in Bath with a particular interest in death literacy and open conversation about dying.
I believe most of us grow up learning to avoid the subject of death entirely, and that this avoidance often makes loss harder to carry when it eventually arrives. My work, both in the counselling room and in the community, is about creating space where death can be spoken about plainly and without fear, long before it becomes an emergency.
I co-facilitate Death Café gatherings at Bath Central Library, free and open community conversations where people come together to talk about death, dying, and what matters, over tea and cake. There is no agenda, no expert leading from the front, and no attempt to reach conclusions. It is simply a room where curiosity and honesty are welcome, and where you can speak or just listen.
Alongside Death Café, I facilitate and take part in other death-positive events and workshops in and around Bath, wherever there is space being made for this kind of honest conversation.
I bring the same ethos to my end of life volunteering at a local hospice, sitting with people in their final days, and to my counselling practice, where I support adults through grief, bereavement, and the transitions that ask us to reckon with our own mortality.
I hold sessions in person at The Practice Rooms in Bath and online across the UK, in both English and Polish. I'm a BACP Registered Member and an NCPS Accredited Registrant, and I offer a free 15 minute introductory call for anyone curious about counselling.
If you have ever wanted somewhere to think and talk about death without flinching, you are welcome here.
