Paul Anne Quibael-Forman , BACP

Paul Anne Quibael-Forman is a United Kingdom-based therapist with 11 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults through periods of stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. She takes an integrative approach, drawing on multiple psychological perspectives to tailor sessions to each person's needs rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions. Her work focuses on building practical skills and promoting personal insight so clients can address immediate challenges and live more fully in the present moment.

Paul Anne emphasises a collaborative, client-centered style that prioritises respect and non-judgement. She believes therapy is a process of nurturing growth and helping people discover their own answers, rather than telling them what to do. Over more than a decade she has supported people with concerns about self-esteem, relationship and family difficulties, grief, addiction, bipolar mood support, compassion fatigue, and a wide range of coping challenges including chronic illness and first responder issues.

Bringing a multicultural perspective as a Filipino living in the UK, Paul Anne recognises the importance of cultural context and expression in therapy. She offers sessions in English and Tagalog. She holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her professional affiliation within the UK counselling field.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Paul Anne uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, empathic space where the individual's priorities guide the work - this approach helps when someone needs support with relationship concerns, self-esteem, or navigating life changes by focusing on their personal values and goals. She also draws on trauma-focused therapy when addressing the effects of abuse, dissociation, or other trauma-related difficulties; this work aims to reduce the impact of traumatic experiences and develop coping strategies to manage symptoms and emotional responses. Motivational interviewing is another tool she uses to help people facing ambivalence about change, such as with addiction, commitment issues, or career transitions - it concentrates on clarifying motivation and building confidence to make sustainable changes.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Paul Anne collaborates with each person to explore what fits best for their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as therapy progresses so the work remains relevant and practical.

Online sessions - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, or geographic distance. These options make it possible to maintain continuity of care, access therapists from different locations, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for ongoing treatment with licensed professionals.
