Otavia Pires de Camargo

Otavia Pires de Camargo is a therapist based in the United Kingdom who brings a decade of clinical experience to her work. Her career began with Art Therapy training more than ten years ago, which sparked a lasting commitment to emotional healing and personal growth.

She offers a warm, collaborative, client-centered space that encourages self-awareness, mindfulness, and emotional healing. Her practice takes a holistic approach, integrating mindfulness, compassion-focused techniques, and breathwork to support nervous system regulation and strengthen the mind-body connection.

Otavia’s approach is informed by early childhood development, attachment theory, and trauma-focused methods. She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, family and relationship issues, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting, career challenges, depression, coping with life changes, coaching needs, and compassion fatigue.

She believes in cultivating the capacity to respond rather than react during times of stress, attending to the links between thoughts, emotions, and physical well-being to foster greater balance and healing. Her decade-long meditation practice supports a grounded, present way of working in sessions, and she draws on an interest in philosophy and ancient wisdom to complement psychological perspectives.

As a female, non-religious, and liberal therapist, Otavia accompanies clients through life challenges in relationships, work, and within themselves. She offers a space for compassionate inquiry to gently explore what may be repressed, hidden, or unspoken, with the aim of creating clarity, transformation, and sustained resilience.

She is available to meet people where they are and to support reconnection with their innate capacity for healing, self-compassion, and emotional strength.
