About Mark
Mark Maxwell is a BACP counsellor with eight years' experience based in the United Kingdom. He offers a calm, listening presence and helps people untangle stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. Mark uses straightforward, person-focused conversations to help people feel heard and understood.
He favours an approach that centres the client's experience. That means listening first, asking practical questions, and shaping the work around what matters to the person in front of him.
Background and approach
Clients can expect clarity about goals and gentle challenges where needed to encourage self-reflection. Mark draws on a mix of client-centred, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural ideas. He pays attention to patterns that come from early life and to the thoughts and actions that keep problems going now.
This blend aims to help people who feel stuck, empty, overwhelmed or under constant pressure. He has worked with people facing grief, family problems, relationship strain, compassion fatigue and the stresses that come with caregiving or high-pressure jobs. He also offers support around issues such as infidelity, communication problems, jealousy and recovery from domestic violence.
Mark makes room to talk about less usual concerns without judgement, including BDSM, kink and alternative sex culture and the challenges that can arise from those scenes. He listens for what a person values and helps them reconnect with who they want to be. If someone wants a practical plan and clear steps, he can offer that too.

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mark will discuss different ways of working and decide together which methods suit the person’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video is useful for deeper conversations where visual contact helps, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options offer flexibility for different schedules and needs.
