About Paul

Paul Anne Quibael-Forman helps people work on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and self-esteem using a person-focused way of working. She offers counselling in English and Tagalog and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has 11 years of experience in the field and works with adults on a range of life difficulties.

Her practice draws on client-centred ideas, where the conversation is led by the person's concerns and experiences. She also uses narrative and trauma-focused approaches to help people make sense of painful events and their effects. Motivational interviewing is part of her way of working when people want help with change or addictive behaviours.

She has experience supporting people with relationship and intimacy issues, grief, family of origin matters and career stress. Other areas she addresses include chronic illness, body image, codependency, abandonment and first responder issues. She also works with people from LGBT backgrounds and with those coping with major life transitions.

Paul Anne describes her style as collaborative and multicultural, influenced by her Filipino background and work in the United Kingdom. She helps people develop practical skills to manage symptoms and to focus on day-to-day actions that matter. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on what the person wants to achieve.

Her approach is practical and talk-based, with attention to the personal story and present concerns. People who choose her can expect work that combines listening with methods that support change and recovery. For details about how sessions are arranged, visitors should confirm current session options before booking.

How her approaches work in online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's perspective. The counsellor follows the client's lead and helps them clarify what matters most, which can be useful for stress, self-esteem and relationship concerns.

Narrative Therapy invites people to tell their life story and to look at the patterns that shape it. It can help with identity questions, family of origin issues and making sense of difficult events.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on the effects of traumatic events and on steps to reduce their impact on daily life. It is used when past experiences continue to cause distress and interfere with functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and will agree a way of working together that fits the person's needs. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Session arrangements should be confirmed before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter or more flexible check-ins when needed. Ask about the current session options to choose what works best.
