Horacio La Maga
Practical, compassionate help for relationships and grief
About Horacio
Horacio La Maga offers calm, practical support for people facing relationship strain, grief, anxiety and low self-esteem. He keeps sessions straightforward and compassionate so clients can talk through what matters most. He works in English and accepts international clients who prefer online formats.
He brings five years of professional experience to his practice and holds the NCPS credential. Horacio aims to make the first steps easier for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed.
Background and approach
He focuses on building an open space where thoughts and feelings can be voiced without judgement. In sessions he pays attention to both current difficulties and the patterns that keep them coming back. That means looking at relationships, attachment, and how past events shape present reactions.
He also offers support for people who are neurodivergent and for those coping with trauma, addiction or major life changes. Horacio uses approaches that centre the person in the room and explore personal meaning and history. He helps clients set small, realistic goals and notices what helps them feel steadier between appointments.
Practical coping ideas are offered alongside deeper conversations about values and belonging. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions to suit their schedules.
Horacio aims to be a steady, thoughtful presence while people work toward clearer choices and greater calm.

Sessions & fees
Approach-focused online counselling and flexible sessions
Horacio draws on client-centred and psychodynamic ideas to guide online work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person's lead to build trust and self-understanding; it helps with low self-esteem, relationship strain and decision-making. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that emerge from past experiences and current relationships, helping people understand why they repeat the same reactions and how to change them.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Horacio will work collaboratively to find what fits the client's needs, goals and preferences. Together they may try different techniques and see what helps, adjusting the plan as understanding grows.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, family and travel, and to keep momentum between sessions.
