About Thaís

Thaís Iglesias is a counsellor with ten years of experience who helps people facing trauma and abuse, grief, eating concerns, low self-esteem and depression. She works in English and Portuguese and practises from the United Kingdom. She aims to make sessions straightforward and calm so people can speak about painful things at a pace that feels manageable.

Thaís trained in psychology and completed a Master’s degree in Art Therapy in the United Kingdom.

Background and approach

Her background also includes study in psychoanalysis and a specialisation in mental health. She has worked in both independent practice and public institutions during her career. She noticed early in her work that some people find it hard to put pain into words.

That observation shaped her approach and led her to combine talking therapy with creative methods. Art-based activities are used where helpful to open up new ways to express feelings and memories. In sessions she focuses on listening closely and responding with gentle curiosity.

Practical steps and small experiments are offered when they suit a person’s goals. Thaís supports people to make sense of difficult experiences and to build clearer ways of coping. People can expect a respectful, non-judgemental space to explore their concerns.

She pays attention to each person’s way of communicating and adapts methods to fit their needs. Her work often centres on helping people reconnect with themselves and find routes toward healing.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Thaís draws on talking therapy and art therapy approaches to help people process difficult experiences. Talking therapy involves guided conversation to clarify thoughts and feelings, and it can help with trauma, grief and anxiety by organising overwhelming experiences into manageable steps. Art therapy uses simple creative activities to express emotions that are hard to put into words, which can be useful when trauma or grief feels stuck.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Thaís will discuss what feels most helpful and try different methods together to match a person’s needs and goals. She works with each client to adjust pace, tools and tasks so therapy fits their preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different situations. Video calls let people see facial cues and use art materials together on camera, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins or for people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, childcare or mobility needs, and support ongoing contact between sessions.
