Thaís Iglesias , BACP

Thaís Iglesias is a UK-based therapist with a background in psychology and a decade of clinical experience. She holds BACP membership - a professional credential from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and has training in psychoanalysis alongside a specialisation in mental health.

Her clinical work spans private practice and public institutions, where she has worked with trauma and abuse, grief, eating disorders, depression, anxiety, psychosis, autism, and bipolar disorder. Over ten years she developed a particular interest in how people express suffering when words alone do not feel enough, and she brings that sensitivity to every therapeutic relationship.

This insight motivated her to complete a Master’s degree in Art Therapy in the United Kingdom. Combining verbal psychotherapy with creative methods, she supports clients in exploring emotions, rebuilding a sense of self, and finding new pathways for healing and growth. Thaís offers a warm, attentive, and respectful therapeutic environment where clients can reconnect with their experiences and work toward increased self-knowledge and practical ways of care.

Integrative approaches and accessible online therapy

Thaís combines creative and depth-oriented methods to meet varied therapeutic needs. Her art therapy training uses creative materials and nonverbal expression to help people explore emotions, process loss, and work through experiences that may be difficult to put into words. Psychoanalytic-informed work focuses on patterns of thinking, feeling, and relating that developed over time and can offer insight into recurring difficulties and relationship struggles.

She also uses trauma-informed principles when working with survivors of abuse and other painful events, attending to safety, pacing, and the person’s readiness to engage with difficult material. Choosing the right approach is collaborative - Thaís works with each client to identify goals, preferences, and practical needs, and adapts methods as therapy evolves.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or those living far from in-person services. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it possible to maintain continuity of care from different locations and at different times. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these formats effectively to deliver evidence-based support while tailoring sessions to each person’s circumstances.
