About Elliot

Elliot Maguire works on stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship concerns and related issues using person-centred methods and hypnotherapy. He is registered with NCPS and has six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

Elliot helps people who feel overwhelmed, stuck or disconnected from themselves. Sessions focus on slowing things down, making sense of what is happening, and finding ways to feel steadier and more confident. He also supports people with motivation, anger, depression and concerns linked to LGBT issues.

His practice draws on person-centred work alongside cognitive behavioural ideas and attachment-based perspectives. That means conversations concentrate on the person in front of him, practical patterns of thinking and feeling, and how early relationships can shape present difficulties. He may also offer EMDR or hypnotherapy when those methods seem helpful for specific problems.

Elliot describes the room as a place to be heard and understood without judgement. He aims to help clients notice unhelpful patterns, try out different ways of responding, and build small practical changes that add up over time.

Clients may explore issues such as grief, intimacy, sleeping problems, addictions, ADHD-related struggles, and a wider range of attachment or personality-related concerns. He also works with topics like body image, communication problems and blended family difficulties.

Sessions are carried out from the United Kingdom and are offered in English. International clients can be accepted; prospective clients are asked to follow the service signposting to book and arrange an initial session.

How his approaches translate to online counselling

People can expect person-centred work that focuses on their experience and priorities. This approach means the counsellor listens closely and follows what matters most to the individual, helping them name and work through current concerns.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. It tends to involve practical exercises and homework to try between sessions, which can be helpful for issues like anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Attachment-based methods look at how early relationships influence current ways of relating and responding. This can help with intimacy issues, patterns of avoidance or fear of abandonment, and repeated relationship difficulties.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss options, explain how different methods might help, and agree a plan based on the client's goals and preferences. That plan can be reviewed and adjusted as therapy progresses.

Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals offering online work can arrange timing to suit daily routines and practical constraints.
