Elliot Maguire
Calm person-centred counselling for practical change
About Elliot
Elliot Maguire offers a person-centred approach that helps people feel steadier and more in control. He focuses on making sense of anxiety, low self-esteem, anger, grief and relationship worries. Elliot uses practical conversations and gentle guidance to help clients feel heard and understood.
He has six years of professional experience and is registered with NCPS. Elliot works with people facing stress, depression, addictions, sleeping problems and intimacy-related issues. He also supports those navigating identity and LGBT concerns and people coping with life changes or ADHD challenges.
Background and approach
His work often draws on attachment-based thinking and client-centred listening. He may use cognitive behavioural techniques, EMDR or hypnotherapy where these fit the person’s needs. Sessions aim to identify patterns, try out new ways of coping, and build clearer steps forward.
Elliot keeps the room calm and practical. Conversations focus on small, manageable changes as well as understanding deeper emotional patterns. He pays attention to communication and relationship issues, body image, and the impact of long-term illness or caregiving stress.
People who choose to work with him are looking for a respectful, non-judgemental space to talk things through. Elliot supports people in exploring commitment and intimacy issues, dissociation, control or dependent personality concerns, and less common areas such as kink and alternative sexual culture.

How Elliot’s approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current emotional patterns. Online sessions use conversation to spot those patterns and practise new ways of relating that feel safer and more dependable.Client-Centred Therapy centres on listening and understanding the person’s experience. In video or phone sessions this means the counsellor reflects what is said, helping clients feel heard and clearer about their next steps.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions to create practical experiments. It works well online for things like anxiety, sleeping problems and low mood because homework and short exercises can be shared between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elliot will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those aims. That collaboration helps shape whether the focus is practical skills, exploring attachment patterns, or using EMDR or hypnotherapy when appropriate.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video allows face-to-face interaction, phone needs less bandwidth and can fit a break at work, while messaging supports short check-ins and ongoing reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around life commitments and different communication styles.
