About Elliot

Elliot Maguire is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected. He works with people facing anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strain, anger, motivation problems, and issues linked to sexuality and intimacy. Elliot is based in the United Kingdom and practises with the NCPS credential.

He offers a calm space where conversation can slow down. Sessions focus on making sense of what’s happening and finding practical ways to feel steadier. Elliot combines Attachment-Based ideas with Client-Centred listening and tools from cognitive behavioural work when helpful.

His background includes six years of professional experience supporting people through stress, depression, addictions, sleep problems, ADHD concerns, and grief. He also has experience with body image, blended family pressures, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and a range of personality and attachment difficulties.

Elliot also brings hypnotherapy and EMDR-informed methods into his work where these approaches fit the person’s needs. He explains options in plain language and talks through what each approach involves before using it.

People can expect a warm, respectful atmosphere in sessions. Elliot aims to meet clients where they are and to support practical changes alongside emotional understanding. He encourages clients to set the pace and direction of the work.

If someone decides to begin, Elliot helps them clarify immediate goals, coping strategies, and next steps. He welcomes international clients and conducts work in English.

How Elliot blends approaches for online therapy

Elliot commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early connections affect current relationships and feelings of safety. This helps people who struggle with trust, attachment issues, and relationship patterns. He also works from a Client-Centred perspective, offering empathic listening and helping people set the pace and focus of their sessions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, when used, looks at unhelpful thought patterns and practical strategies for managing anxiety, low mood, or sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Elliot talks through what each method involves and chooses approaches together with the client based on needs, goals, and personal preference. That means plans can change as the work progresses to make sure sessions stay relevant and useful.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit work into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing more flexible scheduling. It can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that better match a work break or caregiving routine. The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking to know how sessions will be arranged. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists who use these approaches, can help adapt techniques for online sessions so they remain practical and goal-focused.
