About Paul

Paul Anne Quibael-Forman offers a warm, person-focused approach that aims to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression and eating and food-related issues. She introduces herself simply and invites clients to explore their concerns without judgement. She speaks English and Tagalog and brings eleven years of experience to her counselling work in the United Kingdom.

Her sessions centre on helping people find their own answers rather than being told what to do. She uses client-centred methods to listen and reflect, and adapts ideas from other approaches to suit each person. Practical skills are developed together to manage difficult feelings and to stay present day to day.

She has worked with a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, grief, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, and career stress. Additional areas she supports include body image, codependency, chronic illness and first responder issues. Her multicultural perspective is informed by her Filipino background and experience living in the UK.

Paul Anne describes therapy as a collaborative process. Early sessions tend to focus on what matters most to the person and on small, achievable steps. Over time clients work on patterns, coping skills and ways to handle triggers so they can move forward at a pace that feels manageable.

If someone is unsure how to begin, she encourages a simple first step of answering a short matching questionnaire and arranging an initial appointment. This gives space to discuss goals and find a practical way to fit counselling into everyday life.

How Paul Anne blends human-centred therapy with online counselling

Paul Anne often uses client-centred therapy to create a listening, respectful space where people can explore their concerns in their own words. This approach focuses on understanding each person's experience and helping them discover their own solutions, which suits a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression and eating and food-related concerns.

She also draws on trauma-focused approaches that look at how past events affect current responses, and on motivational interviewing to support change by exploring personal values and readiness. Trauma-focused methods help when someone wants to address difficult memories or patterns, while motivational interviewing is useful for building motivation around changes such as coping strategies or health habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. Sessions start with understanding what matters most and then try small steps to see what helps.

Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. In general, online work can make it easier to schedule appointments around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Discuss practical arrangements at the first appointment to make sessions fit into everyday routines.
