Paul Anne Quibael-Forman, BACP

Paul Anne Quibael-Forman offers a client-centred way of working that focuses on the person rather than the problem. She uses warm, respectful listening to help people notice what matters to them and take small steps forward. Paul Anne makes space for the wide range of feelings that come with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and life changes.

She describes therapy as a partnership that helps people discover their own solutions. Sessions aim to build practical skills for managing difficult moments and to increase the ability to live in the present. The work is paced to suit each person’s needs and values.

Paul Anne brings 11 years of counselling experience in child, adolescent and adult settings. She uses a mix of approaches so the work can be shaped around what helps most. Her background includes work with trauma, self-esteem, addictions, grief and compassion fatigue.

Growing up in the Philippines and now working in the United Kingdom, she draws on a multicultural perspective in sessions. She offers counselling in English and Tagalog and understands cultural factors that can affect how people talk about distress.

If someone is coping with chronic pain, illness or disability, first responder strain, family-of-origin issues, or relationship and intimacy concerns, Paul Anne can help them explore these topics and develop coping strategies. Her BACP registration is included in her professional details.

How client-centred and narrative approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person without judgement. In practice this means the counsellor follows what you bring and helps you name feelings, priorities and next steps. Narrative Therapy pays attention to the stories people tell about themselves and invites work to separate problems from identity, which can be useful for issues like addiction, shame or body image.

Motivational Interviewing is another approach she uses to help when change feels difficult. It involves short, focused conversations that explore ambivalence and strengthen personal reasons for change. Together these approaches support people to clarify goals and take manageable actions in day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about what feels most helpful and adapt methods to fit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can shift over time as needs change.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caring duties or medical appointments, and it can reduce travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins when that is useful, or longer sessions when more space is needed, helping therapy fit into everyday routines.
