Otavia Pires de Camargo , BACP

Otavia Pires de Camargo brings over a decade of dedication to emotional healing and personal growth, shaped by early training in Art Therapy and a long-standing meditation practice. She creates a warm, collaborative, client-centered environment that supports self-awareness, mindfulness, and emotional regulation. Drawing on a broad palette of approaches, her work integrates mindfulness, compassion-focused techniques, and breathwork to help calm the nervous system and strengthen the mind-body connection.

Her practice is informed by attachment theory, early childhood development, and trauma-focused perspectives, which guide gentle exploration of what may be repressed, hidden, or unspoken. Otavia emphasizes the capacity to respond rather than react during stress, helping clients recognize and integrate the connections among thoughts, emotions, and physical experience for greater balance and resilience.

Alongside clinical methods, Otavia’s interest in philosophy and ancient wisdom complements her therapeutic work, offering additional lenses on meaning and authenticity. She supports people facing challenges in relationships, work, and personal life, fostering clarity, transformation, and growth. Otavia holds BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) membership, reflecting her professional affiliation in the United Kingdom.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Otavia integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy into her practice. ACT focuses on helping people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying values and taking meaningful action - it is often used to address anxiety, stress, and challenges with motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships to improve emotional connection and safety in current relationships - it can be helpful for relationship difficulties, attachment concerns, and trauma-related issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Otavia works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time, inviting clients to participate in shaping the process so the work remains relevant and supportive.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to access consistent care from different locations and around busy schedules. These options allow clients to engage in therapy in ways that suit their comfort and daily life while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor support to individual circumstances.
