Paul Anne Quibael-Forman, BACP

Mabuhay. Paul Anne Quibael-Forman is a BACP-registered therapist based in the United Kingdom who brings over 11 years of clinical experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults through difficult times. She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem issues, addictions, relationship challenges, grief, and life transitions, helping clients build practical skills to cope and to live more fully in the present moment.

Paul Anne describes her practice as integrative, drawing on multiple psychological perspectives to tailor therapy to each person rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions. She emphasizes a client-centered stance, believing that therapy is a collaborative process in which the therapist nurtures growth and helps clients discover their own solutions. As a Filipino living in the UK, she brings a multicultural awareness to her work and is able to offer sessions in both English and Tagalog.

Her professional affiliation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - reflects adherence to recognised UK counselling standards and ongoing professional development. Paul Anne aims to create a non-judgemental space where people can explore their experiences, develop new skills, and make meaningful, positive changes in their lives.

Approaches offered online and how they help

Paul Anne uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, empathetic environment where the client’s priorities guide the work. This approach helps people who are coping with stress, low self-esteem, life transitions, or relationship concerns by focusing on personal strengths and self-directed growth.

She also draws on trauma-focused therapy when past harm is affecting present-day functioning. This approach aims to gently address traumatic memories and develop practical coping strategies to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Motivational interviewing is another tool she employs to support clients who are ambivalent about change - for example with addictions, career decisions, or lifestyle adjustments. It focuses on building motivation and clear, achievable goals in a collaborative way.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Paul Anne works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts her work as clients progress and as new priorities emerge.

Online therapy offers flexibility by making sessions possible via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, access support from different locations, and maintain continuity of care during periods of change.
