Background and approach

Horacio pays attention to issues such as attachment, abandonment and intimacy concerns. In sessions he aims to build an open, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through thoughts and feelings. He listens closely to each person and tailors the conversation to what matters most to them.

The focus is on understanding patterns and finding workable steps forward. Horacio draws on client-centred methods to follow what the client brings, and uses psychodynamic ideas to look at past experiences that might shape current reactions. He also incorporates existential themes when people are wrestling with meaning, choice or life transitions.

These approaches are used to help with anxiety, low mood and relationship strain. People who choose to work with him can expect calm, straightforward conversations and practical suggestions for day-to-day coping. He encourages small changes that fit into a person’s life, and he supports clients as they try out new ways of living and relating.

How Horacio’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor and follows the client’s lead. It helps people who need space to make sense of feelings and want practical, empathic listening.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past experiences and relationships can shape current reactions and patterns. This can be useful for people who want to understand why they repeat certain behaviours or struggle in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Horacio will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you will decide what to try first. This collaborative process means the direction can change as your needs become clearer.

Online sessions offer flexibility for different rhythms of life. Video calls suit longer, face-to-face conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setup is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions or when writing helps people process thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping consistent contact with a therapist.
