About Thaís
Thaís Iglesias helps people dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, eating problems, low self-esteem and depression. She offers calm, practical support and pays attention to how people express pain.

She trained in psychology and completed a Master’s degree in Art Therapy in the United Kingdom. Thaís has around 10 years of clinical experience in both independent practice and public institutions.
Background and approach
That experience includes supporting people through anxiety, psychosis, autism and bipolar disorder alongside her core focus areas. Thaís pays close attention to non-verbal ways of communicating. She uses creative methods alongside talking to help people find words for difficult feelings.
In a session she will invite simple, practical exercises as well as conversation, depending on what feels most helpful. The approach is personal and paced to each person. Thaís aims to create a welcoming space where people can reconnect with themselves and explore next steps.
She emphasises self-knowledge, practical coping strategies and gradual change. People who choose her can expect straightforward explanations and a gentle, curious style. Sessions aim to reduce overwhelm and build clearer ways of managing emotions and daily challenges.
Her background in art therapy supports those who find words alone hard to use.

Focus areas and approaches
What Thaís works with
Everything Thaís lists, in their own terms.
Online support
She also uses talking therapies that focus on understanding emotions and building practical coping skills. These techniques help with panic, social anxiety, self-esteem and managing depressive symptoms by teaching clear strategies and step-by-step tasks to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That teamwork means the plan can change as progress is made and new issues come up.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversations and working visually, phone calls suit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth, and messaging supports ongoing reflection or quick updates between meetings. These choices help people fit therapy into busy lives and to connect from different locations.
