Paula Webb

I help clients focus on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected. Identify and modify negative or unhelpful patterns and behaviors to improve emotional regulation and well-being. Help them to become present-moment awareness for them to be able to manage stress, anxiety, and emotional distress. Encourage non-judgmental acceptance of thoughts and feelings, promoting emotional regulation and well-being. I shift focus from analyzing past problems and their causes to envisioning a desired future and identifying what is already working. A goal-directed approach which focuses on building solutions rather than dwelling on problems. I view the client as the expert in their own lives and possess the resources to create positive change. Emphases identifying what works, building on the client's strengths and creating a vision of a preferred future. Clients are encouraged to become able to recognize and utilize their existing strengths and resources to overcome challenges. I primarily am focused on the client's future and steps they can take to achieve their desired outcomes, and creating a vision of the future.
