Otavia Pires de Camargo
Counsellor
Pronouns: She/Her
Over the past decade, my journey in therapy began with Art Therapy training, sparking a lasting passion for emotional healing. Since then, I've continually expanded my skills and knowledge in this field.
My therapeutic approach is holistic and client-centered, prioritising self-awareness, mindfulness, and emotional healing. Drawing from various therapeutic modalities within a humanistic framework.
I strongly believe in our ability to interpret and respond to our environment, recognising the profound connection between thoughts, emotions, physical health, and the integration of body and mind during challenging times.
Empowering clients to navigate life's challenges involves addressing conscious and unconscious childhood patterns with compassionate enquiry and understanding, particularly through inner child work.
My decade-long meditation practice enriches my ability to cultivate mindfulness and clarity, which I readily share, along with body and breath work, to help clients be present in the moment.
In my therapeutic style, collaboration, warmth, and support create a safe space for clients to explore self-understanding and healing.
I'm dedicated to guiding others in unlocking their innate potential for healing and transformation, promoting greater self-compassion, emotional resilience, and overall well-being.
Each session is 50-60 minute long.

Feedback from Otavia’s clients
"Warmth and Understanding That Truly Makes a Difference"
"Otavia oozes warmth and understanding. She is very knowledgable, non-judgemental, kind and supportive. She clearly is in the right profession and I am very lucky to have found her.” Gabrielle
"A Compassionate Therapist Who Instills Optimism and Confidence"
"Otavia is such a warm and compassionate therapist. She really seemed to empathise with my problems, and her calm, measured and confident approach immediately made me feel reassured and optimistic. Our sessions are well-structured and professional and she gives me a set of clear and easy things to work on before our next session, so nothing ever feels too overwhelming. I’d recommend her in a heartbeat". Suzy
"Helping Children Overcome Fears and Achieve Milestones"
"I have definitely seen a change in Jake during the last couple of weeks! He even opted to take part (last minute) in the end of year 6 show yesterday and I was completely amazed! Bearing in mind I had to physically take him into school for 3 mornings when the auditions first started, because he was so scared! This is a huge achievement for him". Sally
