About Thaís

Thaís Iglesias is a counsellor who helps people facing trauma, grief, eating issues, low self-esteem and depression. She greets clients with a calm, attentive presence and focuses on small practical steps that make day-to-day life easier. She has a degree in Psychology and a Master’s in Art Therapy completed in the United Kingdom.

Thaís brings ten years of clinical experience from both independent practice and public institutions to her work.

Background and approach

Clients often find it hard to name their feelings, so she uses verbal conversation alongside creative ways of expressing experience. Art-based methods are offered as an option to support people who struggle to put pain into words. Her approach is gentle and exploratory.

Sessions aim to help people understand patterns, notice unhelpful thoughts, and try different ways of coping. She adapts pace and techniques to what each person needs in the moment. Thaís also supports concerns connected to body image, chronic pain, communication difficulties, guilt and shame, life purpose, panic, pregnancy and childbirth, social anxiety and women’s issues.

She speaks English and Portuguese and works with people in the United Kingdom and internationally. Practically, sessions can include conversation, creative exercises, and collaborative planning for small changes between appointments. Her work focuses on clear, manageable steps that people can use outside the therapy room.

Everything Thaís lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work

Thaís combines talk-based work with creative, art-informed methods that help people express feelings they struggle to name. Talk therapy is used to identify patterns, manage symptoms such as panic or low mood, and set practical goals for daily life. Art-based work uses drawing, collage or simple creative tasks to uncover emotions, memories and bodily experiences when words are not enough.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Thaís will work with each person to decide whether more talking, creative exercises, or a blend will help best. She checks in regularly and adjusts methods to match goals, pace and comfort levels.

Online therapy offers flexibility and different ways to connect. Video calls let people see visual cues and try creative tasks together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit those who prefer typed reflections or want ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life or busy schedules while keeping the focus on practical coping and emotional understanding.
