About Mark

Mark Maxwell is a BACP counsellor based near Liverpool. He has eight years of practice supporting people through anxiety, depression and relationship strain. He works to create a calm space for honest conversation and practical change.

Mark trained in an integrated model of counselling that brings together client-centred, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural ideas. He uses that range to match how he works to what each person needs. He values empathy, non-judgement and unconditional positive regard in every session.

Background and approach

He often notices anxiety comes from trying to be who others expect. He helps people name that pressure and find ways to live more authentically. Sessions focus on where someone is now and what small steps feel possible next.

Psychodynamic ideas also shape his listening. He pays attention to patterns that come from the unconscious and past experience. That can help explain recurring feelings and create new options for change.

Mark also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and try out new behaviour. He uses solution-focused work for short-term goals and clearer next steps when helpful. He welcomes people who want thoughtful, steady support and practical tools for everyday life.

Ways of working Mark names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Approaches online and how they help

Mark combines client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural techniques to help people understand feelings and try different responses. Client-centred work means the counsellor focuses on your concerns and follows your pace, helping you feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioural work looks at thoughts and behaviours and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety and low mood.

He also uses psychodynamic ideas to notice repeating patterns that can link to earlier life experiences. That approach helps uncover hidden themes that influence current choices and relationships. Together, these methods give options for short-term relief and deeper personal understanding, and the counsellor will work with each person to find the best mix for their goals.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging so people can pick what fits their routine. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation; phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited; live chat or messaging suit shorter check-ins or days when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel while keeping the focus on progress and practical next steps.
