About Elliot
Elliot Maguire is a counsellor who works in a warm, person-centred way. He supports people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected. Elliot focuses on anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strain, anger, motivation and feeling lost.
He uses a calm, straightforward style that helps people slow down and make sense of what is happening. Sessions are a place to be heard and to build practical steps towards feeling more steady and confident.
Background and approach
Elliot combines talking therapy with approaches chosen to fit the person rather than following a fixed agenda. Elliot holds NCPS, which is noted as his credential, and he has six years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. That experience covers a broad range of concerns such as depression, addictions, grief, sleeping problems and ADHD, alongside relationship and family issues.
He also works with more specific difficulties including abandonment, attachment issues, body image concerns, caregiver stress, chronic pain and dissociation. Elliot brings this range into sessions while keeping things paced to the person’s needs. His approach draws on attachment-based thinking, cognitive methods and hypnotherapy among other tools.
He aims to match methods to each person and to help them notice small, useful changes in day-to-day life. Elliot offers work in English and sees clients in the United Kingdom and internationally. He encourages people to take the first step when they feel ready.
Approaches you can use online with a counsellor
Elliot often blends attachment-based ways of working with cognitive behavioural techniques. Attachment-based therapy helps people understand patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect trust and connection. It can help with relationship worries, abandonment concerns and attachment issues.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on patterns of thought and behaviour that keep problems going. It uses practical steps and experiments to reduce anxiety, lift mood and improve sleep and daily routines. Hypnotherapy can be used as an additional tool to help with stress reduction, motivation and habit change through guided relaxation and focused suggestion.
Finding the right mix is part of the work. Elliot will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest approaches together as a collaborative plan. He checks in and adapts methods as progress unfolds so the work stays relevant and manageable.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suits short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel without needing to commute.
