Thaís Iglesias
Calm, creative support for deep emotional struggles
About Thaís
Thaís Iglesias helps people dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, eating difficulties, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports concerns around body image, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, guilt and shame, and issues related to pregnancy and childbirth and women’s health. Thaís uses plain language and a calm presence to make it easier to talk about hard things.
She trained in psychology and has a specialisation in mental health.
Background and approach
Thaís also completed a Master’s degree in Art Therapy in the United Kingdom. Over the past 10 years she has worked in both independent practice and public services, gaining wide clinical experience. Thaís noticed early in her work that words are not always enough to describe emotional pain.
That observation led her to include creative, non-verbal ways of expressing difficult feelings alongside talk-based work. Sessions can involve drawing, movement or other expressive tools when helpful. Her style is gentle and attentive.
She aims to create a welcoming atmosphere where people can reconnect with themselves and explore whatever feels most pressing. She focuses on practical steps as well as understanding the story behind the struggle. People who come to Thaís leave with clearer ways to manage intense emotions and with more options for coping day to day.
She encourages gradual change and practical strategies tailored to each person’s rhythm and needs.

Sessions & fees
Practical therapy approaches and online access
Thaís blends art-based methods with talk therapy to help people access difficult feelings. Art therapy uses drawing, movement or other creative activities to express emotions that can be hard to put into words; it can be useful for trauma, grief and complicated emotion. She also uses person-centred talking work where conversation focuses on the person’s priorities and practical coping steps, which helps with depression, anxiety and self-esteem concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Thaís works together with each person to try approaches that fit their needs, goals and comfort level. That collaborative process means methods can be adapted as work continues.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let people see facial expressions and body language, while phone sessions can work better when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging provide flexible, written ways to reflect between sessions and fit a break at work or a busy day. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact and to choose the format that suits daily life.
