Elliot Maguire

Elliot Maguire is a person-centred counsellor who uses a warm, respectful style to help people who feel overwhelmed or disconnected. He works with concerns such as anxiety, low self-esteem, anger, depression and issues linked to identity and relationships. Elliot aims to create a calm space where people can slow down and begin to feel steadier and more confident.

He holds NCPS on his record, which indicates a professional credential listed as NCPS. Elliot has six years of experience supporting people through a variety of difficulties, including stress, motivation problems, and LGBTQ+ related concerns. His work often focuses on helping people regain confidence and cope with life changes.

Elliot blends person-centred ways of working with other methods such as cognitive behavioural techniques and approaches that look at attachment patterns. He may also use EMDR and hypnotherapy where appropriate to the person’s needs. In sessions he listens closely and helps people make practical sense of what they are experiencing.

People who come to him can expect a non-judgemental attitude and steady support while they work through issues like anger, grief, relationship strain and sleep problems. He aims to support practical steps as well as emotional understanding. Elliot invites clients to explore what feels most useful for them and to try approaches that fit their goals.

Reaching out for help can feel difficult. Elliot encourages a collaborative process where the person’s priorities guide the work and change happens at a comfortable pace.

How Elliot’s approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can help people recognise these patterns, improve emotional connection, and reduce repeated reactions such as anger or avoidance. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and responding to what each person needs. It helps build trust, self-awareness and confidence through a compassionate, non-judgemental relationship. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) gives practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can ease anxiety, sleep problems, low mood and anger.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Elliot will discuss different methods and decide together which ones match a person’s goals and preferences. This collaborative decision is revisited as therapy progresses so the plan can change if something isn’t helpful.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session options are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life by removing travel time and allowing sessions during a lunch break or between commitments. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins or sessions without video when people prefer less bandwidth or a quieter setup. Confirm formats with the service when you start so you know what to expect.
