About Otavia
Otavia Pires de Camargo offers a warm, client-centred approach that blends practical therapy with mindful awareness. She brings ten years of experience and works from a place of steady presence and curiosity. Sessions are designed to help people feel steadier in their emotions and clearer about next steps.
Her practice draws on several approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment work, cognitive techniques and emotionally-focused ideas. These methods are used to help with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression.
Background and approach
She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, addictions and relationship challenges. Otavia pays attention to how early life and family patterns shape current reactions. She uses everyday tools - breathing, grounding and simple mindfulness - to help regulate the nervous system.
This is offered alongside talking work that looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours. She has a background in art therapy and a decade of practice that includes compassion-focused elements and breathwork. Her interest in philosophy and meditation informs a calm, reflective style in sessions.
Clients can expect a collaborative space where they are listened to and guided at their own pace. Sessions are available in English and Portuguese and are open to people in the United Kingdom as well as international clients. Otavia is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP, and draws on that framework in her practice.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It encourages identifying personal values and taking small, values-led steps towards a more meaningful life. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they influence current emotions and connections. This approach can help people understand recurring relationship struggles and build more supported ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the client and choose methods together based on needs, goals and personal preferences. That collaborative decision means therapy can change over time as progress and priorities shift.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls are useful for face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, reflective writing or when daily flexibility is required. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life or travel while keeping the focus on steady emotional work.
