Paul Anne Quibael-Forman, BACP

Mabuhay - Paul Anne Quibael-Forman greets visitors with warmth and a multicultural perspective, combining compassion with practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem concerns and life transitions. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can explore their experiences and develop coping skills aimed at creating constructive, present-focused change.

Rather than directing clients on what to do, she works in a collaborative way that nurtures personal growth and helps individuals discover their own solutions. Over 11 years she has worked with children, adolescents and adults, supporting people through anxiety, depression, trauma and self-esteem issues while helping them build tools for daily life.

Her practice is integrative, drawing on a range of psychological approaches to tailor therapy to each person in a way that feels meaningful and relevant. As a Filipino living in the United Kingdom she brings a multicultural sensitivity to her work and is able to offer counselling in both English and Tagalog.

She is accredited by the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and understands that reaching out for help takes courage. Her aim is to help people take that first step and to support them as they work toward clearer thinking, greater resilience and more satisfying relationships.

Approaches that inform online care

Paul Anne draws on client-centered therapy to place the person's experience at the centre of the work - the therapist listens empathically, reflects the client’s concerns and helps them decide what matters most so that change comes from the client’s own insights. Existential therapy is used to explore meaning, values and choices when people face life transitions, emptiness or questions about identity, helping them tolerate uncertainty while clarifying what they want from life. Trauma-focused therapy provides structured ways to address past hurt and its ongoing effects, offering techniques to process traumatic memories and reduce their impact on daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Paul Anne treats that as a collaborative process. She will work with each person to identify goals, preferences and practical needs, and adapt methods over time so therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and other commitments. These formats increase accessibility for people living abroad or with mobility limitations, while still allowing registered professionals to offer consistent, goal-focused support.
