Horacio La Maga, NCPS
Calm, practical support for relationship and parenting concerns
Book with HoracioAbout Horacio
Horacio La Maga is a counsellor who focuses on helping people navigate relationship strains, grief, anxiety and parenting worries. He aims to make first steps feel manageable and offers steady support while someone decides what matters most. Horacio uses plain language and calm listening to help people feel heard.
He draws on five years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom and brings a particular interest in supporting people who are neurodivergent.
Background and approach
That experience has shaped a flexible, patient style that suits practical problems and ongoing emotional concerns alike. Horacio’s sessions are shaped by the person in front of him. He creates space for people to talk through emotions tied to self-esteem, anger, addiction or life changes.
He also helps people who struggle with sleep, focus and impulsivity, and those coping with separation or bereavement. The approach is conversational rather than prescriptive. Horacio uses client-centred listening to follow what matters most to each person, and explores underlying patterns that can keep problems repeating.
Conversations look at thoughts, relationships and past experiences to find clearer choices in daily life. People can expect a straightforward partnership aimed at practical change and emotional understanding. Horacio holds the NCPS credential and works with clients in English.
He supports international clients and offers several online session formats to suit different needs.

Approaches Horacio lists

How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following what the client brings. It helps people clarify feelings, build self-trust and make practical changes in relationships and parenting. Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and responsibility in life. It is useful for people facing big changes, grief or questions about identity and purpose. Psychodynamic Therapy explores patterns from earlier relationships that still affect current behaviour and emotions, helping people understand why they repeat certain responses.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Horacio collaborates with each person to decide which combination of listening, meaning-focused discussion or pattern exploration feels most helpful. That partnership helps set clear goals and adjust the method as the work develops.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging offer shorter check-ins and ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to try different formats while finding what suits each person best.
