About Elliot
Elliot Maguire is a counsellor who uses person-centred and attachment-based methods to help people feel steadier. He focuses on practical work for anxiety, low self-esteem, stress, depression and relationship concerns. Elliot also supports people facing addiction struggles, sleep problems, grief and issues connected to intimacy and identity.
He trained as a Person-Centred Psychotherapist and holds NCPS, which is noted after his name. Elliot has six years of experience working with a wide range of difficulties, including ADHD, anger, motivation and LGBT-related concerns.
Background and approach
He aims to make sessions feel straightforward and understandable. In sessions he listens closely and follows each person’s pace. Conversations aim to clarify what matters most, spot patterns, and try small changes that can make day-to-day life easier.
He draws on cognitive behavioural techniques when people want practical strategies to manage unhelpful thoughts or behaviours. Elliot also uses attachment ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. For some people he offers hypnotherapy or EMDR techniques as part of a tailored plan.
The mix of approaches is chosen to suit what each person needs, rather than using one fixed method. People often come with feelings of being overwhelmed or disconnected. Elliot keeps language simple and sessions focused on real-life steps.
He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging for flexibility.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape how someone reacts now. It helps people understand patterns in close relationships and feel more connected to their sense of self. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and pacing the work to the individual's needs. It is useful when someone needs a calm space to sort out feelings without pressure. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, offers straightforward exercises to change unhelpful thoughts and habits and is often chosen for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and review progress as therapy continues.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video is good for a full conversation with visual contact, phone can fit a short check-in when time is limited, and chat or messaging suits people who prefer written exchanges or need flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel and daily life, while keeping continuity between sessions.
