Paul Anne Quibael-FormanBACP

Paul Anne Quibael-Forman offers a compassionate, person-centred way of working that aims to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression and traumatic experiences. She uses clear, down-to-earth language and focuses on helping people find practical steps forward. Paul Anne welcomes conversations about self-esteem, life transitions and intimacy-related concerns. She is based in the United Kingdom and can offer sessions in English and Tagalog.

Her background includes eleven years working across child, adolescent and adult counselling. She describes an integrative approach, drawing on different therapeutic ideas to match what each person needs. In sessions she will listen without judgement and help people identify small, achievable changes to reduce distress.

Paul Anne often uses narrative and client-centred ways of working to help people tell their stories and make sense of difficult events. She also draws on trauma-focused methods and motivational interviewing when people want help with recovery or with making life changes such as addressing addictions or career decisions. Her multicultural perspective reflects her Filipino heritage and time living in the UK.

People who meet with her can expect a collaborative process where goals are agreed together. She aims to build tools for coping with pain, illness, grief and relationship or family tensions. Practical skills and present-moment strategies are included so people can apply them between sessions.

She encourages anyone feeling overwhelmed or unsure to take the first step of seeking help. The pathway to start therapy is straightforward and begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling, so people can find a way forward at their own pace.

How these approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting what someone says so they can find their own solutions; it helps with stress, self-esteem and life changes by keeping the person's experience central.

Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from problems by externalising and retelling difficult events, which can be useful for trauma, grief and relationship struggles.

Motivational Interviewing supports change by exploring a person's own reasons for different choices, making it helpful for addictions, career shifts or commitment issues.

Choosing an approach is a joint task. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. Together they will try things and adjust the plan as needed, so the work fits the person's pace and priorities.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as this profile does not list them. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, allow shorter check-ins when needed and let people take part without travelling. It can also be a practical option for those living outside the therapist's local area, since she accepts international clients.
