About Thaís
Thaís Iglesias helps people facing trauma and abuse, grief, eating concerns, low self-esteem and depression. She speaks English and Portuguese and brings ten years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. Her work aims to make emotional struggles easier to name and understand.
She trained in psychology and completed a Master’s degree in Art Therapy in the UK. Thaís also has training in psychoanalysis and a specialisation in mental health, and she has worked in both independent practice and public institutions.
Background and approach
Those settings gave her wide exposure to different kinds of distress, including anxiety and mood difficulties. Thaís noticed early in her career that many people find it hard to put their pain into words. That observation led her to combine talking therapy with creative ways of expressing feelings.
In sessions she invites simple, practical ways to show inner experience as well as talk about it. Her approach is warm and attentive. She aims to make a calm space where people can reconnect with themselves and make sense of upsetting events.
Work may involve exploring memories, emotions, and personal patterns, alongside creative exercises when these feel helpful. Clients can expect a steady, empathetic presence and practical help to develop coping skills and new perspectives. She supports people in building routines of self-care, naming difficult feelings, and finding clearer direction in life.

What Thaís works with
Everything Thaís lists, in their own terms.
How Thaís works online
Her psychoanalytic background focuses on noticing patterns in feelings and relationships. That approach helps identify recurring reactions and understand where they come from, which is often useful for depression, anxiety and self-esteem issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Thaís will discuss different methods with each person and agree a plan based on the person’s goals, needs and preferences. The process is collaborative and may combine talking and creative exercises over time.
The biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so please confirm the exact session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists generally adapt activities so creative work and talking both work well in remote sessions.
