Paul Anne Quibael-Forman , BACP

Paul Anne Quibael-Forman offers a warm, person-focused way of working. She uses the client-centred approach to help people voice their concerns and find practical steps forward. Paul Anne speaks English and Tagalog and brings 11 years of counselling experience in the United Kingdom.

She sees people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma. She also supports those facing self-esteem issues, relationship difficulty, addictions and career stress. Women's issues are included among her practice areas and she names matters such as body image and intimacy-related concerns.

Her style is collaborative. Sessions aim to build skills for coping with life changes and managing overwhelming feelings. Motivational interviewing and narrative techniques are added when exploring goals and personal stories.

Paul Anne describes her work as multicultural. As a Filipino living in the UK she recognises cultural background in how people understand themselves and their relationships. This informs how she listens and responds in sessions.

She has worked with people experiencing dissociation, domestic violence impacts, chronic illness and first responder issues. Her trauma-focused experience supports those recovering from past hurt while keeping attention on present-day coping.

People who choose her will find straightforward, respectful counselling that focuses on small, practical changes. She encourages pacing therapy to each person's needs and helps clients discover solutions that fit their everyday life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their priorities at the centre of sessions. The counsellor listens, reflects and follows the person’s lead so they can make sense of their feelings and decide on next steps. This approach is useful for low mood, anxiety and identity or self-esteem work.

Existential Therapy focuses on meaning, choice and responsibility. It helps people facing life transitions, grief or questions about purpose by talking through values and how they want to live. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational way to strengthen motivation for change, often used for addictions, career moves or commitment concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Paul Anne will discuss different methods and together the client and counsellor will choose what fits goals and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so the plan feels manageable and relevant to everyday life.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a quicker check-in, while live chat or text messaging suits short updates or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and other commitments and to keep continuity when travel or relocation occurs.
