About Thaís
Thaís Iglesias is a counsellor with ten years' experience supporting people through trauma, grief, eating concerns, low self-esteem and depression. She also helps with body image, chronic illness and pain, communication difficulties, guilt and shame, life purpose questions, panic disorder and panic attacks, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, social anxiety and phobia, and women's health issues. Thaís speaks English and Portuguese and works from the United Kingdom.
She trained in psychology and has a specialisation in mental health. Early clinical work in both private practice and public services showed her that words alone do not always hold a person's experience. That observation led her to complete a Master’s degree in Art Therapy in the UK.
In sessions she uses talking and creative ways of expressing feelings. People are supported to recognise patterns, name painful experiences, and try small changes that feel manageable. The focus is on practical ways to cope day to day, as well as understanding what lies behind recurring fears or low mood.
Thaís aims to make the therapy room welcoming and gentle. She offers a calm, respectful space where people can reconnect with themselves. Work may include reflecting on relationships, exploring trauma or developing strategies to manage panic and anxiety.
Her background across different settings informs a flexible approach. She draws on both psychological training and art-based methods to match each person's needs and preferences.
How therapeutic approaches and online work link together
Thaís integrates talking therapy with art therapy ideas. Talking therapy helps by naming thoughts and feelings, spotting patterns, and developing practical coping steps. Art-based methods invite different ways to express emotion when words are hard to find, which can be useful after trauma or during grief.These approaches can be helpful for panic, anxiety and depression because they combine skill-building with opportunities to process painful memories or strong feelings. The therapist will work with the person to choose which methods to try and to adjust pace as trust grows. That decision is collaborative and based on the person’s goals and comfort level.
Confirm the available session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific online options. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or medical appointments. It can also reduce travel time and allow a shorter check-in when that suits the person’s day. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often balance different techniques and practical arrangements so sessions match what a person needs.
