About Horacio

Horacio La Maga helps people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin. He focuses on practical steps to ease anxiety, improve self‑esteem, and untangle relationship and intimacy concerns. His tone is straightforward and supportive, aimed at people who need clear help now.

He draws on five years of professional experience and holds an NCPS credential. In sessions he encourages honest conversation and listens for what matters most to each person. People who are neurodivergent have been among those he has supported, and he pays attention to how different minds experience stress and social expectations.

Horacio uses a few different ways of working depending on the situation. He places the client at the centre of the process, invites reflection on life choices and meaning, and examines how past experiences shape current feelings. This combination helps with things like grief, addiction, sleeping problems, anger, and coping with life changes.

Sessions are practical and conversational rather than full of jargon. He aims to build clearer routines and healthier emotional responses. He also helps with issues such as attachment and abandonment, body image concerns, infidelity, and managing impulses.

People who prefer talking by video, phone, chat or text can work with him remotely. To start, a short questionnaire is used to match needs and plan the first appointment. He encourages small steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Therapeutic approaches you can access online

Horacio uses client‑centred, existential and psychodynamic ideas to guide his work. Client‑centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience and offers acceptance and attentive listening so people can find their own solutions; it helps with self‑esteem, anxiety and relationship worries. Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and responsibility and can help when someone is struggling with life changes or feelings of emptiness. Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past relationships and patterns influence current feelings and behaviour and can be useful for attachment, abandonment and longstanding emotional issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will listen to your goals, try different ways of working, and recommend what seems most useful for your situation. The process is collaborative - decisions about focus and method are made with you rather than for you.

Online therapy offers a flexible way to meet. Video calls allow face‑to‑face conversation, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and live chat or text‑based messaging suits shorter check‑ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel while keeping the same therapeutic focus and continuity with a registered professional.
