About Paul
Paul Anne Quibael-Forman is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to help people manage depression, anxiety, stress and trauma. She offers straightforward, respectful support and listens without judgement to help clients work through their concerns. She speaks English and Tagalog and brings 11 years of experience in counselling to her practice.
Her sessions focus on practical skills and small steps that make daily life easier. Conversations aim to identify coping strategies, build self-esteem and reduce overwhelming thoughts.
Background and approach
The work is collaborative - the person sets the goals and the counsellor helps shape a way forward. She draws on a few different therapeutic approaches to suit each person. That can include narrative techniques to help people rewrite painful life stories.
It can also mean motivational interviewing to find reasons for change and Trauma-Focused Therapy when past harm affects day-to-day living. Paul Anne takes a multicultural view drawn from her Filipino background and UK practice. This helps when cultural expectations or identity influence how someone feels and behaves.
She has worked with a wide range of issues including grief, addictions, relationship problems, chronic illness and first responder challenges. People who turn to her often want plain-speaking guidance and steady support. Sessions aim to build tools you can use between meetings and to create realistic steps toward feeling better.
If someone prefers to speak in Tagalog she can do so.

Online support
Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from painful stories they tell about their lives. It works by identifying unhelpful narratives and then building alternative, more helpful versions. That can be useful for depression, low self-worth and relationship struggles.
Motivational Interviewing looks for personal reasons to change. It uses short, goal-focused conversations to strengthen someone’s drive to make practical steps. This approach can help with addictions, career changes and other decisions that feel stuck.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and adapt methods to match the person's goals, needs and preferences. The process is collaborative, so the plan changes if something isn’t working.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is good for full conversations and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits quick check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
