Mark Maxwell is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with eight years of clinical experience. He offers calm, attentive listening and practical help for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression and low self esteem. Mark aims to make sessions straightforward and useful for parents and professionals alike.

Mark works in a person-centred way, drawing on psychodynamic ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques to suit each person’s needs. He pays attention to how expectations from others can shape a person’s choices and sense of self.

Background and approach

That often shows up as anxiety, emptiness or trouble with relationships. Sessions usually begin by looking at what matters most now and what small steps might bring relief. He helps people talk through grief, family problems, communication issues and the strain that comes from caregiving or first responder roles.

Mark also offers support around complex topics such as infidelity, domestic violence, commitment worries, jealousy and sexual subcultures. Therapy can include short-term solution-focused work or deeper psychodynamic exploration depending on what the person wants. He aims to be non-judgemental, empathic and practical, helping people notice patterns and try different ways of coping.

Many clients find it useful to reflect on their inner motivations and to practise new behaviours between sessions. Mark frames therapy as a collaborative process where the client’s pace and goals guide the work.

How Mark’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on giving the person a respectful, non-judgemental space to talk. It helps people feel heard, build self-understanding and choose changes that suit them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going and gives simple, practical techniques to test new responses and reduce symptoms.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Mark will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest whether short-term, skills-based work or deeper exploration is likely to be more useful. He adapts methods as the work progresses so people can try different ways of working and see what helps most.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins and text messaging is convenient for short updates between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and shift patterns while keeping continuity of care with a registered professional.
