Thaís Iglesias

Thaís Iglesias is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 10 years of experience. She works with people facing trauma and abuse, grief, eating concerns, low self-esteem, and depression. She also focuses on body image, chronic pain and illness, communication problems, and questions about life purpose.

She trained in psychology and completed a Master’s degree in Art Therapy in the UK after working in both private practice and public institutions. That background shaped her interest in ways of expressing difficult feelings beyond words. She brings practical tools alongside creative approaches to help people talk through what matters to them.

Sessions typically involve talking and making sense of feelings, and may include art-based activities when useful. Thaís pays attention to how people show distress in their bodies and in relationships, and helps them name what is happening. She also works with issues that overlap with pregnancy, childbirth and women’s health.

Her approach combines clinical experience with arts-based methods to open different routes to understanding. She encourages steady steps, not quick fixes, and helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck. Goals and methods are discussed together so the work fits each person’s needs.

Thaís offers therapy in English and Portuguese and accepts international clients. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and practical arrangements through the online matching process.

Working with evidence-based and creative methods online

Thaís combines talking therapies with art therapy techniques. Talking therapies help people name feelings and spot the patterns that keep them stuck; they are often used for depression, anxiety and grief. Art therapy uses drawing, collage or other creative activity to help people express emotions that are hard to put into words, and can be useful for trauma, body image and life purpose questions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Thaís will discuss different methods with each person and agree on steps together. That way the approach is shaped by the client’s needs, goals and preferences rather than chosen in advance.

Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support people who live abroad by removing geographic barriers, though practical arrangements such as time zones should be discussed when arranging appointments.
