About Elliot

Elliot Maguire is an NCPS psychotherapist working in the United Kingdom with six years of clinical experience. He supports people dealing with anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, anger and related concerns. He also works with issues around motivation, depression and LGBTQ+ matters.

His sessions are straightforward and person-centred. Elliot listens first and helps people make sense of their reactions. Conversations are practical and paced so the client can notice small changes over time.

He uses a mix of approaches depending on what someone needs. That can include attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape reactions, cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and hypnotherapy for focused work on habits and motivation. He also offers EMDR for people who have distressing memories that keep coming up.

In sessions he aims to reduce overwhelm and build steadier responses to stress and anger. He talks through tools for managing intense moments, improving communication and rebuilding confidence after setbacks. The work is collaborative - the client’s goals guide what happens in each meeting.

Elliot accepts international clients and runs sessions in English. He uses a subscription model for sessions which can be cancelled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Elliot often brings together attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques in online sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and helps people notice patterns in close relationships. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and practising small behaviour changes to reduce anger and anxiety.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Elliot will talk with the client about goals and preferences, and then experiment with approaches that suit those aims. Decisions are collaborative so the method can change if it is not working for the client.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday or a busy week. They can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people continue work while away from home. Registered or accredited professionals typically adapt exercises, breathing practices and cognitive techniques so they work in a virtual setting, helping clients build steadier responses to anger and stress.
