Mark Maxwell, BACP

Mark Maxwell is a BACP-registered counsellor based near Liverpool, United Kingdom, with over eight years of professional experience. Trained in integrated counselling, he combines person-centred, psychodynamic, and cognitive behavioural methods to tailor support to each person's situation and goals. He places high value on empathy, a non-judgemental stance, and unconditional positive regard, creating a respectful space for people to explore difficult emotions and recurring patterns.

Influenced by the ideas of Carl Jung, he pays attention to the unconscious material that can shape behaviours, relationships, and a sense of meaning. After listening to hundreds of clients, he has noticed that many people experience anxiety when they are living in ways that meet others' expectations rather than being who they genuinely need to be. His work often involves helping clients examine those pressures, identify what matters to them, and find practical steps to move toward a more authentic life.

Mark supports people with a wide range of difficulties including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, family and relationship problems, and compassion fatigue. He also works with concerns such as caregiver stress, communication and commitment issues, divorce and separation, domestic violence, feelings of emptiness or isolation, jealousy and infidelity, and matters related to kink and alternative sexual culture. He looks forward to beginning this journey with you.
