Paul Anne Quibael-Forman , BACP

Paul Anne Quibael-Forman brings a calm, pragmatic presence to therapeutic work, supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem struggles, and major life transitions. With 11 years of experience working across child, adolescent, and adult counselling, she uses an integrative style that draws on different psychological approaches to meet each person where they are. She frames therapy as a collaborative process rather than a directive one, helping people discover their own solutions and develop practical skills to cope and stay grounded in the present moment.

Her practice reflects a multicultural perspective informed by her Filipino background and life in the United Kingdom, and she offers sessions in both English and Tagalog. Paul Anne emphasises empathy, respect, and nonjudgmental listening as foundations for exploring family dynamics, relationships, identity, grief, addiction, and other concerns listed in her specialties. She holds BACP credentials - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which indicates affiliation with a national professional body for counselling and psychotherapy.

Paul Anne recognises that reaching out for help takes courage and that finding the right fit matters. Her aim is to support positive change through tailored strategies, guided reflection, and skill-building that help clients face challenges and move forward with greater clarity and resilience.

Approaches and Online Support for Change

Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the heart of the work, prioritising empathy, active listening, and the client’s own goals; it is useful for building self-esteem, processing life transitions, and restoring a sense of agency. Trauma-Focused Therapy offers structured ways to address traumatic experiences and their ongoing effects, helping people develop tools to manage symptoms and regain stability. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that helps people explore ambivalence and find internal motivation for change, especially helpful for addiction, behaviour change, and commitment issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Paul Anne works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, preferences, and goals. She adapts techniques over time so the work remains relevant and useful as clients progress.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes this collaborative work more accessible and flexible. These options allow clients to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes or relocation, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for them while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
