About Elliot
Elliot Maguire is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has six years of practice in the United Kingdom. He works with people who are dealing with anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship issues, anger, depression, and LGBTQ+ related concerns. He also supports clients facing stress, addictions, sleep problems, ADHD and the difficulties that come with big life changes.
His sessions take a person-centred approach that focuses on how someone experiences things day to day. Elliot listens for patterns in relationships and attachment, and he uses practical techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy to help shift thought and behaviour cycles. He also draws on EMDR and hypnotherapy where appropriate to address distressing memories and strong emotional reactions.
People can expect straightforward conversations about what is troubling them and clear steps to try between sessions. Elliot aims to help clients notice small changes and build more predictable ways of coping. He pays attention to difficulties around intimacy, body image, control and communication problems.
He has worked with clients on features of avoidant and dependent personality styles, attachment issues and feelings of abandonment. He also has experience supporting people involved with BDSM, kink and alternative sex culture and people managing chronic illness or caregiving stress.
Sessions are conducted in English and Elliot accepts international clients. He uses a subscription model for payment that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.
How attachment work and CBT translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early experiences affect current reactions. Online sessions can be used to notice those patterns, talk through relationship fears and practise different responses in everyday life.Client-centred practice keeps the focus on the person and their experience. In remote sessions this tends to mean straightforward listening, reflecting what you say and helping you decide next steps that feel manageable.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and tries small experiments to change behaviour. Those experiments can be planned and reviewed during online meetings, with practical tasks to try between sessions.
Choosing an approach is part of the work. Elliot will discuss options and test what fits, working with you to match methods to your goals and preferences rather than imposing one way of working.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and reduce the need to travel. Many people find remote sessions help maintain continuity through life changes and give space to practise new habits in real time.
