About Mark

Mark Maxwell is a BACP counsellor based near Liverpool with eight years' experience. He draws on an integrated approach to help people who are struggling at work and in life. Mark aims to create a calm space where a person can talk openly about stress, anxiety, grief or low mood.

He uses a blend of person-centred listening, psychodynamic thinking and cognitive behavioural ideas to suit each person. That means sessions often focus on what matters to the individual, looking at current patterns and practical steps to change them.

Mark pays attention to how expectations from others shape choices and self-image. He helps people notice where they are living to please others and where they might reconnect with who they truly are. Those conversations can reduce shame, guilt or feelings of emptiness.

He also works with relationship and communication problems, compassion fatigue and issues tied to caregiving or first responder roles. Additional areas he addresses include sexual and kink-related concerns and the challenges that follow separation or betrayal.

Sessions are straightforward and conversational. Mark listens without judgement and offers reflections, questions and practical suggestions. If you want help sorting work stress, improving self-esteem or making clearer choices, he can support the next step.

How Mark’s approaches translate to online counselling

Mark uses client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural ideas to guide much of his work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathy and understanding, helping someone feel heard and valued so they can explore their own feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and uses simple tools to test and change unhelpful habits and reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Mark will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration means sessions can shift between talking, reflecting on past patterns, and trying practical steps that suit the person’s life.

The biography does not state which online session types are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people value remote sessions because they can fit counselling around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Others find an extended conversation more useful for deeper reflection. Mark can help choose a way of working that fits everyday life and practical needs.
