About Elliot
Elliot Maguire is a Person-Centred psychotherapist and hypnotherapist based in the United Kingdom. He works with people feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected. He supports those coping with anxiety, low self-esteem, motivation problems, anger and depression, as well as LGBT concerns and relationship strain.
Sessions are a calm space to slow down and make sense of what is happening. Elliot aims to help clients feel more grounded and regain confidence through steady, practical conversation.
Background and approach
He focuses on what matters to each person rather than fitting everyone into the same plan. In his work he draws on Attachment-Based ideas to look at patterns in relationships and how they shape emotional responses. He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
Hypnotherapy is offered as another option where appropriate, to access different ways of working with memories, habits, or motivation. Across six years of practice he has supported people with a wide range of concerns including stress, addictions, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleeping problems and ADHD. He also addresses issues such as body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain and difficulty coping after traumatic events.
Elliot aims for a warm, respectful tone in sessions. He invites people to explore their story at their own pace and to set goals that make sense for their life right now.

How Elliot’s approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and ongoing relationship patterns shape current feelings and responses; online work can help bring those patterns into view and practice new responses in day-to-day life. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own pace and goals, offering a respectful, non-judgemental space to talk through what matters most. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) provides practical tools to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and habits, which can be practised between sessions to track progress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elliot will discuss different methods with each person and decide together what fits best based on needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process means approaches can adapt as progress is made.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible for international clients to connect without relocating. If practical adjustments are useful, Elliot will help shape sessions to suit day-to-day life and routines.
