About Mark
Mark Maxwell is a counsellor based near Liverpool in the United Kingdom. He is BACP registered and has eight years of practice helping people manage emotional strain. He emphasises empathy, non-judgement and unconditional positive regard in sessions.
Mark trained in integrated counselling and draws on person-centred, psychodynamic, and cognitive behavioural approaches. He listens for what matters to each person and adapts his way of working to fit the issue presented.
Background and approach
This means sessions focus on the individual rather than a single method. He often notices anxiety and low mood come from living to other people’s expectations. Mark helps people notice those pressures and to identify the person they really want to be.
Conversations aim to create space to name feelings and consider different choices. Sessions may explore unconscious patterns influenced by Carl Jung’s ideas, alongside practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. The mix of reflective work and action seeks to balance understanding with small, achievable change.
Clients commonly bring concerns such as stress, grief, self-esteem, relationship strain and compassion fatigue. Mark also works with a range of other issues including family problems, caregiver stress, and relationship betrayal. He presents an accepting and steady presence to help people begin a gradual process of recovery and change.

How Mark works online
He also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. CBT tools can help with anxiety, low mood and stress by identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small changes to behaviour.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work itself. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what feels most useful for the person.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Many people find online counselling helps fit therapy around work or family life, reduces travel time, and makes it easier to keep appointments. Online sessions can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions without a camera when that better suits a person’s day-to-day routine.
