About Elliot
Counsellor Elliot Maguire is a member of NCPS and has six years of experience working in the United Kingdom. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship troubles, addictions, grief and related concerns. Sessions also cover issues such as sleeping problems, anger and challenges linked to identity and intimacy.
Elliot uses a person-centred way of working. That means conversations focus on what matters to the client and on making sense of what is happening now. He combines this with practical approaches where useful, for example Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at patterns of thinking and behaviour.
He also works with attachment-based ideas to understand how early relationships affect present relationships and feelings. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, often written as EMDR, can be used for distress linked to memories. Hypnotherapy is available as a technique to support change when it fits the client's goals.
Elliot often helps people who feel stuck, disconnected or unsure how to move forward. He offers straightforward sessions that aim to slow things down and make next steps clearer. Work can include talking through difficult feelings, building coping strategies and planning small changes.
People choosing to work with him complete an initial matching process and then arrange sessions. International clients can be accepted, and conversations are carried out in English. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches for online counselling
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current emotions and close relationships. Online sessions using this approach help people notice patterns in how they relate and try different ways of responding. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. In an online setting it is used to spot unhelpful thinking and to practise small behavioural changes between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods might help. Decisions are made together and approaches can be adjusted as progress and needs become clearer.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the current options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they can fit talks into a lunch break, avoid travel time and use quieter surroundings. Others prefer shorter check-ins by phone or sessions that do not require video. Talk with the counsellor about what will work in your everyday life and how to make sessions manageable alongside work, family and other commitments.
