About Mark
Mark Maxwell is a BACP counsellor based near Liverpool. He has eight years of experience supporting people through anxiety, stress and low mood. Mark brings a calm, listening presence and values empathy and a non-judgemental attitude.
He trained in integrated counselling, which lets him draw on client-centred, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural approaches. That mix helps him tailor sessions to what each person needs. Sessions focus on the person in front of him, not on fitting someone into a single method.
Background and approach
Mark often works with people wrestling with identity, expectations and a sense of emptiness. He has noticed many clients feel pressured to be who others expect, rather than who they truly are. Conversations aim to uncover those pressures and allow people to hear their own priorities again.
Practical change is part of the work. That can mean trying new ways to manage anxious thoughts, looking at relationship patterns, or exploring deeper feelings that come from earlier experiences. He uses simple, everyday language and keeps the room straightforward and approachable.
Mark also supports people dealing with grief, relationship strain, caregiver stress and compassion fatigue. He is comfortable discussing less common issues such as alternative sexual cultures and the difficulties that first responders or carers can face. He makes space for difficult feelings and helps people plan small, achievable steps forward.

Online support
How Mark’s approaches work online
Mark draws on Existential Therapy to help people look at meaning, choice and personal responsibility. This approach can be useful for those feeling empty, stuck or unsure who they want to be. It encourages honest reflection about values and how to live in a way that feels authentic.He also uses Client-Centred Therapy, which centres on listening, empathy and unconditional positive regard. This helps people feel heard and understood while they consider changes at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify and test unhelpful thought patterns and to develop practical coping steps for anxiety and low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will talk with each person about goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative selection can change over time as needs evolve.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caring duties or irregular schedules, while keeping the focus on making steady progress.
