About Elliot
Elliot Maguire offers a direct, person-centred approach to therapy. He focuses on slowing things down so people can make sense of what feels overwhelming. Sessions aim to help clients feel more grounded and regain confidence in everyday life.
He uses a mix of Attachment-Based and Client-Centred ideas alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and hypnotherapy. This combination helps with anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, anger, and motivation problems. EMDR is also part of his toolkit for certain kinds of traumatic memories.
How Elliot works
Across six years of practice he has supported people with stress, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, sleeping difficulties, grief, and coping with life changes. He also works with concerns such as ADHD, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and communication problems.
A number of additional focuses include abandonment, attachment issues, avoidant and dependent personality features, dissociation, and aspects of alternative sexual cultures such as BDSM and kink. Elliot holds NCPS as a credential, which is shown as NCPS in his profile. He practices from the United Kingdom and carries out sessions in English.
He accepts international clients and offers a range of session formats to suit different needs. Beginning therapy typically involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Elliot aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk through their difficulties and work towards practical steps that feel manageable.

How Elliot’s approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how early bonds affect current feelings and reactions. It can be useful for worries about trust, intimacy-related issues, abandonment fears, and attachment difficulties.Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a non-judgemental stance and listening that helps a person make sense of their own thoughts and feelings. This approach supports work on self-esteem, motivation, depression, and decision making by allowing clients to explore at their own pace.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It can help with anxiety, anger, sleeping problems, and coping with life changes.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and the nature of the difficulties and then collaboratively decide which methods to try. Plans can change as the work progresses, and the focus is on what helps the client make steady progress.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distance, phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or suit lower bandwidth, live chat supports written exchanges in the moment, and messaging lets clients write between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties or travel and to choose the format that feels most comfortable.
