About Maximillian
Counsellor Maximillian Marcham is a member of BACP and NCPS with three years' experience. He works with stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem, coping with life changes and ADHD. Sessions are offered in English and he practises in the United Kingdom.
Max writes in a straightforward way. He focuses on making sense of what is happening to the client and on practical steps to move forward. He aims to be relaxed and relatable so people feel able to talk without judgement.
His background includes work in school settings and time supporting young people with anxiety, depression and psychosexual concerns. That experience shapes the way he listens and responds to practical problems. He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts sessions to what each person brings.
In sessions he will help a person identify patterns, try small changes and review what works. Conversations are paced to the individual's needs and goals. He pays attention to feelings such as guilt, shame, emptiness or isolation and the ways these affect daily life.
Max also addresses issues linked to relationships, commitment and dependent personality traits. He works with process addictions, seasonal mood shifts and concerns around sexuality and social phobia. The focus is on clear steps and steady progress rather than labels.
To get started people complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary by location.
Therapeutic approaches and online counselling
Max draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on identifying unhelpful patterns and testing small changes. One approach emphasises talking through current thoughts and behaviours to spot what keeps problems going and then practising different ways of responding. This can help with anxiety, social phobia and mood issues.Another strand involves exploring relational patterns such as attachment and commitment issues. That work looks at how past relationships shape current feelings and choices, and aims to develop clearer ways of relating and decision making. It can be useful for feelings of emptiness, dependent traits or problems with intimacy.
Finding the right approach is a shared task. The therapist will discuss options with the client, try methods that fit the person's goals, and review progress together. The plan may change as understanding grows and new priorities emerge.
Practical benefits of online counselling should be checked before booking because specific session formats were not listed in the biography. Please confirm which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, avoid travel, or have a shorter check-in when time is limited. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt pacing and techniques to suit remote sessions, for example using shorter phone checks or focused video conversations to address particular concerns.
