About Elliot

Elliot Maguire offers person-centred therapy that aims to help people feel steadier and more confident in daily life. He focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, anger, motivation and issues linked to being LGBT. Sessions are framed as a calm space to slow down, think things through, and work out small, useful steps forward.

Elliot holds NCPS and has six years of professional experience supporting people through a wide range of concerns. He brings hypnotherapy and attachment-informed ideas alongside talking therapies to help clients make sense of emotional patterns. He uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques where helpful to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.

In sessions he uses a warm, respectful, person-centred style. That means listening first, following what matters most to each person, and tailoring the pace to the individual. He aims to help people feel heard and to build practical coping strategies for daily life.

Areas Elliot commonly helps with include relationships, intimacy-related worries, grief, sleeping problems, addictions and ADHD-related struggles. He also works with body image, chronic illness or pain, caregiver stress, commitment and communication difficulties, and aspects of kink and alternative sexual cultures.

People can expect a collaborative process focused on clarity and calm. Elliot encourages people to set concrete goals and to review progress together. To start, readers should use the site Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire to arrange the first session.

How Elliot's approaches can work online

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and closeness. Online sessions using this lens help people understand why they may feel distant or overwhelmed in relationships and learn steadier ways of relating. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and the client's priorities. In practice this means sessions are guided by what feels most important to the person and at the pace they prefer. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, targets the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and provides practical exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Elliot aims to discuss options with each person and to decide together which methods fit their goals and comfort. That collaborative checking-in helps shape session goals, homework and the pace of change.

Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, care or travel; it can reduce time spent commuting and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people keep continuity of care when they move or are in different time zones. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use these practical benefits to help clients maintain steady progress.
