About Elliot

Elliot Maguire is a person-centred counsellor who helps people untangle anxious thoughts and everyday habits that make life feel harder. He supports clients who are coping with anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, anger, and feeling stuck. Elliot works to create calm, steady sessions where people can slow down and find clearer direction.

He trained as a Person-Centred Psychotherapist and Hypnotherapist and holds NCPS as a credential. Elliot has six years of professional experience working with stress, depression, motivation, confidence, and LGBTQ+ related concerns. He brings practical listening and reflective questioning to each appointment.

In sessions he focuses on the things clients notice day to day - patterns of thought, coping habits, and how relationships affect mood. Conversations are grounded and straightforward. Elliot helps people identify small changes they can try between meetings and checks how those feel.

He uses a mix of person-centred work, attachment-based ideas, cognitive approaches and hypnotherapy tools where helpful. This lets him adapt to what each person needs while keeping the pace manageable. The aim is to help someone feel more grounded, confident and able to cope with life’s challenges.

People who come to him often want clear, humane support rather than a rushed assessment. Elliot offers a calm presence, practical suggestions, and space to make sense of upsetting feelings and confusing situations.

How Elliot’s approaches work online

Elliot uses person-centred work alongside attachment-based and cognitive behavioural ideas. Person-centred therapy focuses on listening and helping a person feel understood so they can make their own changes. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and helps people notice and change those patterns. Cognitive behavioural techniques help identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical ways to test and change them.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences and what feels most useful at the start. Together you can try different ways of working and adjust the mix as you learn what helps most.

If you want online sessions, please confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into everyday life because it can reduce travel, make short check-ins possible and fit around work or family routines. It also makes it easier for people living abroad to arrange appointments with registered or accredited professionals in the United Kingdom.
