About Elliot
Elliot Maguire is a NCPS counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years' practical experience. He works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, anger and issues connected to relationships and family life. He also supports people facing grief, addiction concerns, intimacy-related issues and the practical strain of parenting and caregiving.
Elliot uses person-centred ways of working to help people slow things down and make sense of what is happening for them. Sessions focus on clear conversation about feelings and patterns, and on building everyday strategies for coping and decision making. He also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to look at thoughts and behaviours, and on hypnotherapy where this is a helpful option.
People contact him about LGBT concerns, motivation and confidence, disrupted sleep, coping with life changes and attention-related challenges such as ADHD. He is experienced in talking through difficult topics like abandonment, attachment and blended family issues. Elliot also works with matters linked to body image, chronic illness, caregiving stress and sexual subcultures including kink and BDSM when clients bring these topics up.
Sessions are straightforward conversations that aim to identify patterns and practical next steps. He pays attention to how relationships at home affect mood and behaviour, and helps people test small changes between sessions. Over time the work is often about clearer boundaries, better communication and more reliable routines.
Elliot accepts international clients and runs sessions in English. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used, and a first appointment can then be scheduled through the service button on his profile.
How sessions work
How his approaches work in online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early experiences affect feelings and trust. In an online session this can help people who notice repeating relationship problems or who struggle with closeness and boundaries.Client-Centred Therapy centres the client's own concerns and pace. The therapist listens and reflects rather than directing, which helps people clarify what matters to them and decide practical next steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers simple exercises to test new ways of responding to stress and anxiety.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elliot will discuss options and help decide together which methods suit the client's needs, goals and preferences. That decision is revisited as the work progresses, so therapy can adapt if something isn't working.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work or family life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can use brief windows in a busy day.
