About Elliot

NCPS. Six years' experience. Elliot Maguire works with people in the United Kingdom on stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, addictions, sleep difficulties, anger and ADHD. He also lists additional focus areas such as attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, blended family issues, and aspects of alternative sex culture including BDSM and kink.

Elliot describes his practice as person-centred. He places attention on listening and responding to what each person brings. Sessions aim to slow things down, sort out confusing feelings, and help people feel more grounded and confident in everyday life.

He uses a mix of approaches drawn from attachment-based work, client-centred counselling, cognitive behavioural therapy or CBT, Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, and hypnotherapy. These methods are used to address patterns of thinking, strong emotions, memories that continue to cause distress, and relationship dynamics.

In practical terms Elliot focuses on understanding how past relationships and attachment patterns shape current difficulties. He also works on skills for managing anxiety, improving self-esteem, and dealing with anger or motivation problems. Hypnotherapy may be offered as a technique alongside talk work when appropriate.

Elliot accepts international clients and runs counselling from the United Kingdom. Sessions are carried out in English. Before booking, users should confirm current session formats with him via the platform's booking process.

How his approaches translate to online counselling

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current feelings and patterns. It helps with relationship difficulties, trust issues and attachment problems by identifying repeated interaction styles and finding new ways of relating. Client-centred counselling focuses on listening and reflecting back what someone says to help them make sense of their feelings and decisions. It is useful for anxiety, low self-esteem and when someone feels stuck.

Elliot will work collaboratively to find the best approach. He will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, and then adapt methods such as CBT or EMDR alongside person-centred conversations. Choosing an approach is part of the therapy itself rather than a one-off decision.

The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Different approaches can be adapted to remote work, for example structured CBT tasks between sessions or person-centred talking sessions that focus on immediate concerns.
