About Elliot

Elliot Maguire is a Person-Centred Psychotherapist (NCPS) working in the United Kingdom with six years of experience. He helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected. Common concerns he sees include anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, anger and LGBTQ+ related issues.

His sessions aim to slow things down and make immediate things clearer. He encourages straightforward conversation about what is happening now. That practical focus helps people feel steadier and more able to make next steps.

He uses person-centred principles alongside other approaches such as attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques. That means conversations focus on how relationships and everyday thoughts shape current feelings. Practical exercises and reflection are used as appropriate to help with mood, motivation and coping skills.

Elliot also works with people navigating relationship and family stress, including blended family issues and communication problems. He has experience supporting those dealing with grief, addiction-related concerns, intimacy issues and sleep problems. He adapts the session to the topics a person brings each week.

Hypnotherapy and EMDR are part of his offered approaches when they fit a person's goals. He combines these methods with client-centred work rather than relying on any single technique. This mix is intended to help people make steady changes and manage everyday pressures more effectively.

Therapeutic approaches online and how they help

Attachment-based work looks at how past and present relationships affect current feelings and behaviour. It can help when trust, closeness or loyalty feel difficult in stephousehold relationships. Client-centred practice focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to you. It is useful for sorting through stress, confidence and decisions in everyday life. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It often includes simple exercises to change unhelpful thinking and improve sleep or low mood.

Elliot treats finding the right approach as a shared task. He will discuss what feels helpful and try different methods to match your goals. That collaborative way means the plan can change as issues shift, for example during a new relationship or when managing co-parenting arrangements.

Please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit into a day, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. They also let a person choose whether to use video or not depending on what works best for them. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly adapt techniques so they work well across different remote formats.
