Mark Maxwell

Mark Maxwell is a counsellor based near Liverpool in the United Kingdom. He holds BACP accreditation and has practised for eight years. He welcomes straightforward conversations and aims to create a calm space where people can speak freely about what is troubling them.

Mark trained in integrated counselling, which means he draws on several approaches to match what a person needs. That includes Client-Centred Therapy, psychodynamic ways of looking at deeper patterns, and cognitive behavioural ideas to help with worry and low mood. He favours empathy, non-judgement and unconditional positive regard in sessions.

He often notices that anxiety and emptiness come from living to other people’s expectations. In sessions he helps people notice those patterns and consider who they want to be. That practical focus can make small changes feel more possible.

Mark also pays attention to how the unconscious and personal meaning shape feelings and choices, a perspective influenced by the work of Carl Jung. He uses this to help people make sense of feelings like guilt, shame and grief rather than to label them.

People come to him for issues such as stress, depression, relationship worries, self-esteem and compassion fatigue. He also supports people dealing with divorce, caregiving strain, sexual minority cultures and first responder stress. Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to the person’s needs.
