Paul Anne Quibael-Forman, BACP

Paul Anne Quibael-Forman is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to support people through stress, anxiety, depression and midlife changes. She speaks English and Tagalog and draws on her own multicultural background to connect with clients. She presents a calm, non-judgemental manner to help people find practical ways forward.

She believes therapy should help people discover solutions rather than be told what to do. Sessions focus on building skills to cope with difficult feelings and to stay present in day-to-day life. She also addresses trauma, self-esteem issues and relationship concerns in straightforward ways that are easy to understand.

Paul has worked for 11 years in counselling roles with children, adolescents and adults. That experience includes supporting people through grief, addiction, compassion fatigue and work-related stress. She also has experience with issues such as abandonment, body image, chronic illness, codependency and first responder stress.

Her approach blends client-centred ideas with narrative and existential thinking and draws on motivational interviewing and trauma-focused methods when useful. This mix allows sessions to be adapted to each person’s needs and goals. Paul aims to help people make changes that feel realistic for their lives.

Practical matters are discussed plainly so people can fit therapy into their routines. She accepts international clients and works from a multicultural perspective that honours different ways of expressing difficult experiences.

How Paul’s approaches work in online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping people feel heard. It is useful for stress, low mood and relationship worries because it prioritises the person’s own goals and pace.

Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choices and the questions that come with life changes. It can help people facing midlife transitions, career uncertainty or a sense of emptiness by encouraging honest reflection on values and direction.

Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from their problems by exploring the stories they live by and finding alternative narratives. It suits issues like self-esteem, codependency and recurring patterns in relationships.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels helpful, and will shape sessions together based on those discussions.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking as these are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a lower-bandwidth option.
