Elliot Maguire, NCPS

Elliot Maguire is a UK-based Person-Centred Psychotherapist and Hypnotherapist who supports people feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves. With six years of professional experience, he works with individuals facing anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, motivation and confidence challenges, anger, depression, and issues related to LGBT identity. He also assists clients dealing with stress, addictions, family and relationship concerns, sleep problems, grief, intimacy-related issues, ADHD, and a range of attachment and personality-related difficulties.

Elliot’s practice is grounded in a warm, respectful, and nonjudgmental approach that prioritises each person’s unique story. He uses person-centred principles to create a space where clients can slow down, explore what is happening for them, and begin to feel more grounded and confident. He is also trained in hypnotherapy, offering complementary techniques that some clients find useful for addressing motivation, habit change, and coping strategies. Elliot holds the NCPS credential, a professional registration indicating recognised standing as a counselling and psychotherapy practitioner.

Reaching out for therapy is a significant step, and Elliot aims to walk alongside clients as they identify what they need to feel more empowered and connected. His work is collaborative, attentive, and tailored to each person’s goals and life circumstances.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Elliot offers client-centred therapy, which focuses on creating an accepting, empathetic space where clients lead the pace and direction of their work while the therapist reflects and supports personal insight. This approach helps with issues like low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and feelings of uncertainty by strengthening self-understanding and agency.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep problems, offering practical strategies and clear goals to improve daily functioning.

In addition, hypnotherapy is available as an adjunctive approach in Elliot’s practice. In plain language, hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to support changes in habits, motivation, and coping - and it can be helpful alongside other therapeutic work.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Elliot works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from registered professionals and therapists regardless of location, allowing work to continue around other commitments and life changes.
