About Otavia
Her practice blends mindfulness, compassion-focused techniques, and breathwork to help calm the nervous system and strengthen the connection between body and mind. She also integrates insights from early childhood development, attachment theory, and trauma-informed methods to address relational patterns and deep-seated emotional wounds. This combination supports clients dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and a broad range of other concerns.
Otavia emphasizes the capacity to respond rather than react, guiding people to explore the interplay of thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations as a pathway to greater balance. A long personal practice of meditation informs her presence in sessions, and a strong interest in philosophy and traditional wisdom shapes her perspective on wellbeing. She aims to accompany clients with compassionate inquiry, helping to uncover what may be repressed or unspoken and fostering clarity, transformation, and resilience. Otavia is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional organisation for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom.
Integrating Attachment and Acceptance in Online Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and encourages choosing actions aligned with personal values - this approach can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape present patterns of connection and trust, offering a way to explore relational injuries and improve intimacy and communication. Client-Centered Therapy places the client's experience at the heart of the work, using empathic listening and unconditional positive regard to foster self-discovery and emotional growth.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process - Otavia works with each person to determine which methods fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques as the therapy unfolds. This shared decision-making helps ensure the work feels relevant and effective for the individual.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, over the phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage geographic barriers, and maintain continuity of care. Licensed professionals can use these formats to provide thoughtful, consistent support that aligns with each client's circumstances and pace.
