About Thaís
Thaís Iglesias is a counsellor with a background in psychology and ten years of clinical experience. She works with people facing depression, trauma and abuse, grief, eating concerns and self-esteem difficulties. Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese and she practises from the United Kingdom.
She has experience in both independent practice and public services. Early work showed her that some people find it hard to put pain into words.
Background and approach
That led her to study art therapy at master’s level in the UK to widen how people can express themselves. In sessions she uses talking and creative ways to help people notice feelings and tell their story. She aims to make the room calm and respectful, so people can name what’s difficult and try new ways of coping.
Conversations are practical and paced to each person’s needs. Her approach supports people through loss, difficult memories, body image worries, chronic pain and illness, and life changes such as pregnancy and childbirth. She also helps with panic, social anxiety, communication problems, guilt and questions of life purpose.
People who choose her can expect a collaborative process. She helps clients explore what matters, try options for change, and find strategies that fit day-to-day life. Therapy can include creative exercises alongside verbal work to reach feelings that are hard to say.

Focus areas and approaches
What Thaís works with
Everything Thaís lists, in their own terms.
Online support
She also uses conversational, evidence-informed techniques that focus on identifying patterns, building coping skills and managing symptoms of depression, panic and anxiety. These methods help people develop clearer ways of thinking about problems and try small changes in everyday life.
Deciding which approach to use tends to be collaborative. The therapist will work together with the client to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences, and may blend talking and creative work as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy accessible. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be lighter on bandwidth and fit into a work break. Live chat and text options suit shorter check-ins or moments when typing feels easier than speaking. These formats make it simpler to book sessions around work, caring duties or travel and let people try different ways of connecting with a therapist.
