Elliot Maguire , NCPS

Elliot Maguire is a United Kingdom based psychotherapist and hypnotherapist who works with people feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves. He supports clients dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship and family difficulties, anger, depression, addictions, grief, intimacy-related concerns, sleep problems, and challenges such as ADHD and coping with life changes. He also offers focused support for issues including abandonment, attachment concerns, dissociation, body image, caregiver stress, blended family dynamics, commitment and control issues, and aspects of alternative sexual culture such as BDSM and kink.

Elliot practises from a warm, person-centred stance that emphasises sensitivity, respect, and nonjudgmental listening. He uses an integrative toolkit that can include attachment-based work, cognitive behavioural strategies, eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing, and hypnotherapy, tailoring interventions to each person’s needs. He holds the NCPS credential, reflecting his professional training in counselling and psychotherapy, and brings six years of clinical experience to his practice. Elliot welcomes clients who seek a space to slow down, make sense of what is happening, and build greater grounding, confidence, and connection in their lives.

Integrating therapeutic approaches in online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding how early relationships shape current ways of relating. Elliot uses this approach to help clients explore attachment patterns, repair relational injuries, and build more secure ways of connecting with others, which can be useful for relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns, and intimacy issues.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of the work. Elliot offers an empathic, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through feelings and priorities at their own pace; this approach supports self-esteem, motivation, and emotional processing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. When appropriate, Elliot integrates CBT techniques to address anxiety, stress, low mood, and sleep difficulties.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Elliot works with each person to identify which methods fit their goals, preferences, and current needs, and he adapts the plan over time to ensure the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Elliot is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different lifestyles and schedules. These options make it possible to access licensed professionals from the United Kingdom and internationally, reduce travel time, and allow clients to choose the format that feels most comfortable for their therapeutic work.
