Mark Maxwell, BACP

Mark Maxwell is a BACP registered counsellor based near Liverpool, United Kingdom, with eight years of professional experience supporting people through anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, and stress. He trained in integrated counselling, combining client-centered (also called person-centred), psychodynamic, and cognitive behavioral approaches to tailor therapy to each person’s needs. The BACP credential indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK.

Mark places empathy, non-judgement, and unconditional positive regard at the heart of his work, and he often draws on ideas from Carl Jung to explore how unconscious patterns and meaning influence everyday choices. He has listened carefully to hundreds of people and frequently encounters anxiety rooted in living to meet others’ expectations rather than expressing one’s own identity. His practise supports exploration of these tensions, helping people reconnect with who they truly are and begin practical, meaningful change.

Mark works with a wide range of presenting issues including family and relationship concerns, self-esteem and isolation, caregiver and first responder stress, and compassion fatigue. He offers a supportive environment for examining shame, guilt, commitment questions, and the emotional fallout of separation and infidelity. Mark aims to help each person identify what matters to them and to take manageable steps toward greater authenticity and wellbeing.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Sessions

Mark practices client-centered therapy, which centers on empathy, non-judgement, and unconditional positive regard to help people feel seen and heard; this approach often supports work on self-esteem, relationship dynamics, and decisions about personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and patterns, offering practical strategies for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress. Psychodynamic therapy explores underlying patterns, early experiences, and unconscious influences to help make sense of recurring emotional difficulties and relational struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy itself. Mark works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and he adapts his integrated training to meet each person where they are in the moment.

Online therapy with Mark is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, maintain continuity of care across locations, and choose the communication style that feels most helpful for the individual.
