About Paul
Paul Anne Quibael-Forman offers a warm, client-centred way of working that aims to help people make meaningful change. She uses Motivational Interviewing alongside other approaches to support people who are feeling stuck, unsure or overwhelmed. Paul Anne speaks English and Tagalog and draws on her own multicultural perspective to relate to different life experiences.
She focuses on practical skills that can be used between sessions. Conversations are paced around each person’s needs, with time given to notice small steps and shifts. Sessions look at immediate concerns such as stress, anxiety and depression, as well as longer-standing issues like trauma, self-esteem and coping with life changes.
Her background includes eleven years of counselling experience across children, adolescents and adults. The BACP credential listed is BACP, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. That experience informs work with complex issues including addiction, bipolar and compassion fatigue.
Additional areas of attention include relationship and intimacy-related issues, family of origin concerns, communication and boundary difficulties, and challenges such as chronic illness, chronic pain or dissociation. First responder issues and recovery after disasters are also within her scope.
People who come to Paul Anne can expect an approach that values each person’s story. She uses narrative and existential ideas to help people examine meaning, and trauma-focused methods when past events are getting in the way of daily life. The aim is to help people find manageable ways to move forward.

How approaches like Motivational Interviewing work online
The therapist uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own motivation for change by asking open questions and reflecting back what matters to them. This approach suits issues where ambivalence or low motivation is a barrier, such as addictions or getting unstuck in life.
Client-Centred Therapy is also a key part of the way she works, which means sessions focus on the person’s experience and pace rather than following a strict protocol. Narrative Therapy helps people tell and retell their stories so that different meanings and possibilities can emerge, useful for identity, self-esteem and trauma-related concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will collaborate with the person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. This might mean blending Motivational Interviewing with trauma-focused or narrative techniques as needs become clearer.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm which session types are available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people access a counsellor who speaks Tagalog and English even if they are not local. -
