Horacio La Maga, NCPS

Therapeutic approaches available online

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client’s lead. The counsellor offers empathy and reflection to help people feel heard and to identify what they want to change. This approach is useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem and many everyday struggles.

Psychodynamic work looks at how past experiences and unconscious patterns affect current feelings and behaviour. It helps people make sense of recurring problems like attachment issues, abandonment worries or emotional reactions that feel out of proportion.

Existential therapy invites people to examine life choices, meaning and responsibility. It can be helpful when coping with bereavement, major life changes or questions about purpose and identity.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Horacio will listen to a client’s needs, goals and preferences and then suggest ways of working together. Plans are adjusted over time so the approach matches what actually helps.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and communication styles. Video is useful for a fuller conversation, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and day-to-day life.
