Otavia Pires de Camargo

Otavia Pires de Camargo offers a warm, client-centred approach that invites people to slow down and notice what matters most. She uses straightforward, practical work to help people manage stress, anxiety and life changes. Sessions focus on building self-awareness and simple tools to feel steadier day to day.

Her practice draws on ten years of experience and a background that began with Art Therapy training. That early training led to a wider interest in emotional healing, so she now blends different ways of working rather than using a single method. This includes breathwork, mindfulness and compassion-focused ideas to help calm the nervous system.

Attachment ideas and trauma-informed thinking shape how she understands difficult relationships and repeated patterns. She helps people look at how childhood experiences and family culture still affect choices and feelings in adulthood. Conversations aim to make those links easier to see and work through.

She also uses cognitive and experiential techniques from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. These methods help with practical problems like sleep, eating, concentration, and coping with grief or loss. The emphasis is on small, useful steps rather than abstract theory.

Otavia works with a wide range of concerns including relationship struggles, addiction, parenting strain, low self-esteem, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She offers sessions in English and Portuguese and welcomes enquiries from people in the United Kingdom and abroad. To begin, visitors are guided through a short matching questionnaire and can schedule a session according to therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches online and how they help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, encourages people to notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and to commit to actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current emotional patterns and helps people understand and change repeating dynamics in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. That means trying practical techniques and noticing together what helps, then adjusting the approach as the work progresses.

Please confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific online formats. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. It can also let people choose quieter surroundings, use less data by avoiding video, or arrange sessions around work and family commitments. Registered or accredited professionals will discuss which ways of meeting work best for each person.
