Thaís Iglesias, BACP

Thaís Iglesias holds a degree in Psychology and has training in Psychoanalysis, together with a specialisation in Mental Health. She combines extensive clinical experience from work in both private practice and public institutions to support people facing a wide range of difficulties, including trauma and abuse, grief, eating disorders, depression, anxiety, psychosis, autism, and bipolar disorder.

Across her work, Thaís observed that many people find it hard to put intense feelings into words. That observation prompted her to explore alternative ways of listening and expression, and led her to pursue a Master’s degree in Art Therapy in the United Kingdom. This additional training informed a practice that values creativity alongside talk-based work, offering different routes to understanding and processing experience.

She is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her commitment to recognised professional standards. Thaís offers a sensitive, welcoming space where clients can reconnect with themselves, express difficult experiences, and develop practical paths toward care, self-knowledge, and transformation. Her approach is attuned to each person’s unique way of communicating and healing.

Art-informed and trauma-focused approaches for online care

Thaís integrates art-informed methods and psychoanalytic-informed practice to create flexible online therapy that suits different needs. Art-based work uses creative materials and nonverbal expression to help people explore feelings and memories when words are hard to find; this can be useful for processing grief, trauma, and issues with body image or eating. Psychoanalytic-informed work pays attention to patterns in relationships and internal experiences, helping clients understand recurring difficulties such as low self-esteem, chronic shame, or relational problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Thaís works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods feel most helpful, adjusting the balance between creative and verbal work according to the client’s goals, preferences, and the issues being addressed.

Online therapy with Thaís is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing practical flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain regular work, access support from other locations, and try different communication styles to find what best supports progress.
