About Elliot

Elliot Maguire works from a person-centred stance, meeting people where they are and helping them regain a sense of steadiness. He supports those feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected. Sessions focus on making sense of difficult feelings and building confidence one step at a time.

Elliot is a NCPS credentialed practitioner and a counsellor with six years of experience in the United Kingdom. He has helped people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, anger and motivation issues. He also has experience with LGBTQ+ related concerns and with people facing sleep problems and relationship strains.

In practice he uses approaches drawn from Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and hypnotherapy. That means sessions can include talking through past relationship patterns, gently challenging unhelpful thoughts, and practical steps to change everyday routines. Hypnotherapy may be offered as an aid to relaxation and focus when appropriate.

Elliot also works with a broader range of issues such as grieving, intimacy-related concerns, addictions, ADHD and coping with major life changes. He can help people who are dealing with chronic pain or illness, carers under stress, and those affected by dissociation or attachment difficulties.

If you are thinking about starting, expect calm, respectful conversation and practical suggestions to try between meetings. To begin, choose Start Therapy, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions according to availability.

How these approaches can help in online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns that developed in early relationships and how they affect present-day connections. It can help people recognise repeating dynamics and find different ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the individual’s experience and priorities, with the therapist offering non-judgemental listening and reflection to help people make sense of how they feel. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works with thoughts and behaviours, offering practical exercises to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or manage mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Elliot treats this as a collaboration, exploring options with each person and adjusting methods to match goals and preferences. He will discuss what might help most and try practical steps in session and between meetings.

Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific delivery methods. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people work from a quieter space, use fewer technical resources like video when that suits them, or schedule sessions around work and family commitments.
