About Horacio
Horacio La Maga offers a calm, direct approach for people feeling stuck by relationships, grief, low mood, anxiety or problems with intimacy. He introduces simple, clear ways to talk about what matters and to build small changes that add up. Horacio writes plainly and listens closely so people feel heard and understood from the first session.
He uses a client-centred style that focuses on each person's experience and priorities. That means sessions usually start by letting the person set the agenda and then exploring thoughts and feelings together.
How Horacio works
He also draws on existential ideas to help people find meaning during difficult life changes, and psychodynamic thinking to notice patterns that repeat in relationships. Horacio has five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds NCPS. He has supported people with relationship breakdown, grief and loss, self-esteem and motivation, anxiety and depression, addiction concerns, sleep problems and parenting stresses.
He also has experience working with people who are neurodivergent and those struggling with attachment or abandonment issues. In practice he aims for an open, non-judgemental space where difficult feelings can be spoken about plainly. Practical steps and honest conversation are blended so sessions feel constructive and human.
He supports people through coping with life changes, anger, guilt and shame, infidelity, and the challenges that follow separation. People can expect a straightforward process: say what is troubling you, try out new ways of responding, and review what helps. Horacio works with English-speaking clients in the UK and with international clients, and tailors the pace to each person's needs.

How Horacio's Approaches Work Online
Horacio uses client-centred therapy to follow the person's lead and focus on what matters most to them; this approach supports problems like low self-esteem, relationship tensions and anxiety by listening and responding to each person's priorities. He also draws on psychodynamic therapy to help people spot repeating patterns in relationships and behaviour, which can be useful for issues such as attachment concerns, infidelity or unresolved grief.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Horacio will discuss preferences, goals and practical needs and then collaborate on a plan that feels right. The plan can shift over time so that methods match what is helping in real life.
Online sessions give flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging suit people who prefer typing or need asynchronous support. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules, manage energy levels, and choose how they feel most comfortable engaging.
