Elliot Maguire, NCPS

Elliot Maguire is a Person-Centred Psychotherapist and Hypnotherapist who offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed or stuck. He focuses on helping clients cope with anxiety, low self-esteem, motivation problems, anger and feelings of disconnection. Elliot aims to make sessions feel like a steady place to slow down and begin rebuilding confidence.

He brings six years of experience working with stress, depression, addictions and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. He also addresses issues linked to ADHD, grief, sleeping difficulties and the strains of family life. LGBT concerns are a listed focus area in his practice.

Elliot uses a warm, respectful style that centres the client’s experience. That means listening closely, asking plain questions and helping people find small changes that make a difference. He combines Person-Centred methods with approaches such as Attachment-Based work and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy when these suit the situation.

He also offers hypnotherapy and has trained in EMDR as one of several tools to help process difficult memories and reduce distressing reactions. The choice of method is shaped by the person’s needs and goals rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Sessions are carried out from the United Kingdom and are conducted in English. Elliot supports people who want to explore life changes, work through loss, improve communication or regain a stronger sense of self.

How different approaches guide online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape present behaviour and feelings. It helps people notice patterns in close relationships and build more secure ways of relating to others. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. CBT offers practical steps to change unhelpful thinking and to try new behaviours that reduce anxiety and low mood. Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to support change in habits, confidence or sleep. It can be used alongside talking therapy to reinforce new ways of thinking.

Finding the right approach is something the therapist will do with the client. Elliot will talk through goals, try different methods as appropriate and check in about what is helping. The process is collaborative and can change over time as needs evolve.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online working can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel or allowing sessions during a work break. It can also make shorter check-ins simpler when that is helpful, and mean less need for high-bandwidth connections if that is a concern. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use different ways to deliver sessions, and Elliot will discuss which format best fits your needs and daily routine.
