About Paul
Paul Anne Quibael-Forman is a counsellor registered with the BACP with 11 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and self-esteem concerns, and with people dealing with life changes and addictions. She also supports clients facing relationship and intimacy-related issues and grief. Sessions are offered in English and Tagalog and she accepts international clients.
She uses a person-centred way of working that begins with listening. That means the conversation starts with what matters most to the client rather than a set script. Paul Anne draws on other approaches where helpful, including narrative techniques and trauma-focused methods, to respond to the issues people bring.
In practice she helps people name patterns that get in the way. For someone who keeps putting others first, sessions can focus on boundaries, codependency patterns, communication problems and feelings of emptiness. For those recovering from abuse or difficult events, therapy can include stabilising skills and ways to tell a new story about what happened.
She pays attention to how culture and family shape choices. As a Filipino living in the UK she says cultural context matters when people talk about shame, belonging or duty. Language options and cultural awareness are offered as part of the work when useful.
Sessions aim to build short-term skills and longer-term insight. Practical steps, reflective conversation and collaborative planning are typical parts of her way of working. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. In practice this means the counsellor follows what the client brings and helps them name feelings and choices. This approach can help with anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship patterns.Narrative Therapy concentrates on the stories people tell about themselves. Sessions look at those stories and explore alternatives, which can be useful for codependency patterns, shame or life changes. Trauma-Focused Therapy works on understanding and reducing the impact of traumatic events through paced, practical strategies and grounding skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Paul Anne will discuss options and agree together which methods to try based on the client's goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change as the work progresses.
The practical benefits of online sessions vary by format, so confirm available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family, shorten check-ins with a quick call, or remove travel time. Talk with her when you arrange a first appointment about the session length and setup that will fit your day.
