About Maximillian
Maximillian Marcham is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). He has three years' experience and lists stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem and coping with life changes among the concerns he works with. Social anxiety and phobia are also included in his focus areas.
Max writes in a down-to-earth way and keeps sessions relaxed. He aims to make it easier to talk about things that feel hard, such as worry, guilt, isolation or relationship concerns. He works in plain language and avoids clinical jargon.
In sessions he helps people make sense of what is happening in their lives and to set small, practical goals. He draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help with mood problems, addictive behaviours and difficulties linked to attachment and intimacy. This can include looking at patterns of thought and behaviour, and testing small changes between sessions.
Max has worked with adolescents in school settings and with people facing psychosexual concerns, so he is used to straightforward conversations about sensitive topics. He also supports people dealing with ADHD, seasonal low mood, and issues around self-worth and sexuality.
He offers work in English from the United Kingdom. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial session through the online options button on the site.
Practical approaches and online sessions
Max uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address worry and unhelpful patterns. Cognitive-style work focuses on spotting and testing thoughts that increase distress, and practising small behavioural changes to reduce avoidance and build confidence in social situations. Behavioural approaches can involve gradual exposure to feared social moments, breaking them into manageable steps to lessen anxiety over time.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss options collaboratively, matching methods to personal goals, preferences and the specific problems you bring. Sessions are aimed at clear, achievable steps rather than broad theory, and progress is reviewed together as work continues.
The therapist's profile does not list specific session formats here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, for example by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins during a break. They also let some people work without being on camera or choose quieter times that suit their schedule, depending on the available formats.
