About Paul
Paul Anne Quibael-Forman is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 11 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma, and supports those coping with life changes and self-esteem concerns.
She uses a mix of approaches rather than one fixed method. Sessions aim to help people talk things through and build practical skills for day-to-day life. That can include coping strategies for difficult feelings, ways to manage anxiety, and steps for handling relationship or career pressures.
Her work is influenced by her multicultural background as a Filipino living in the UK. She offers therapy in English and Tagalog and is comfortable addressing issues where culture or identity matter. She has experience supporting people with grief, addiction, LGBT concerns, and first responder related stress.
Paul draws on client-centred and narrative ideas to help people make sense of their experience. She also uses trauma-focused methods when past harm affects current life. Motivational interviewing features when someone wants help making practical changes.
Sessions focus on practical conversation and concrete tools rather than theory alone. People can expect straightforward discussion about what feels hard, exploration of options, and agreed steps to try between meetings. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters to the person. It helps when someone wants to be heard and to make their own decisions about change. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps separate problems from identity, which can help with issues like low self-worth or feeling stuck.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Paul will talk with each person about what they want to change and how they prefer to work. Together they will try different ways of working and pick what fits best with the client’s goals and style.
Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting counselling into a busy week and making it easier to keep regular appointments. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that avoid travel time. The exact session formats used should be confirmed before booking, as clients choose the option that best fits their day-to-day life and needs.
