About Thaís
Thaís Iglesias is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 10 years of experience. She works with people facing trauma and abuse, grief, eating difficulties, low self-esteem and depression, and she lists social anxiety and phobia among her focus areas.
She trained in psychology and completed a Master’s degree in Art Therapy in the UK. Her background also includes study in psychoanalysis and a specialisation in mental health. That mix of clinical and creative training shapes how she approaches emotional and psychological struggles.
In sessions she uses talking together plus non-verbal ways of expressing feelings, such as art-based activities. These methods are offered to help people who find words hard to come by, or who feel stuck when talking alone does not seem to help.
She has worked in both private practice and public institutions, gaining experience with a wide range of difficulties including anxiety symptoms, eating problems and long-term mental health conditions. Her clinical work aims to help people notice patterns, make sense of painful experiences, and find practical next steps.
Sessions are conducted in English and Portuguese. International clients are accepted. Before booking, people should confirm current session options and scheduling details to make sure the format fits their needs.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
She combines talking therapy with art-based approaches that use drawing, collage or other creative tasks to help express emotions that can be hard to name. These art methods can be useful for processing trauma, grief and body image concerns when words alone feel limiting.She also draws on psychoanalytic ideas to look at recurring patterns and unconscious feelings that affect current relationships and mood. This work can help people understand why certain reactions recur and make different choices going forward.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs and comfort. That means discussing what feels most helpful and adjusting the approach over time in collaboration with the client.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people take part from locations that suit their day-to-day life, and it supports working with a therapist in another country when that is appropriate.
