Have your thief "detect traps" all the time, and make sure that you set it again after any encounters. You'll see it in your thief's abilities (bottom of the screen) and can start it by clicing on it to highlight it in red. If it's greyed out then your thief might be wearing >leather armour, which nullifies his/her abilities. There will be an armour for the thief later in the game. The distance you'll detect at varies and you'll get better with practice. Slow walking is good to start. After you detect the trap you can disarm it, with your lockpick skill.
