Teresa Solano, NCPS

Teresa Solano provides a calm space for people to talk about what is worrying them. She offers a focused 50-minute session where the person can name what feels difficult and start to make sense of it. Teresa presents herself as a non-judgemental listener and aims to offer empathy and positive regard.

She has ten years' experience and holds the NCPS credential. Teresa combines straightforward conversation with practical tools to help people manage overwhelming thoughts and feelings. She keeps language simple and aims to make sessions feel like a shared effort rather than a lecture.

Teresa uses Client-Centred Therapy to follow each person's lead and build understanding at their pace. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helping people spot unhelpful thinking and try small, practical changes between sessions. These methods suit concerns such as anxiety, stress, low self-esteem and coping with life changes.

Teresa works with relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues and LGBT matters. She also supports people facing career strain, compassion fatigue and family-related difficulties. Additional areas of focus include ageing and geriatric issues, attachment and personality-related concerns, blended family issues, divorce and separation, and multicultural questions.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and take place online by phone, video, live chat or text-based messaging. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a time that fits their availability.

Approaches that shape online sessions

Teresa uses Client-Centred Therapy to listen closely and follow what matters most to each person. This approach focuses on empathy and acceptance so the person can explore feelings at their own pace.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT often involves identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying small practical changes that can make daily life easier.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Teresa discusses goals and preferences with each person and adapts methods so they fit the problem and the person's style. The aim is a collaborative process that balances understanding with practical steps.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit shorter check-ins, and messaging is handy for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and to continue work even when schedules change.
