About Maximillian
Maximillian Marcham helps people work through stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, coping with life changes and challenges linked to ADHD. He uses a relaxed, down-to-earth style and aims to make it easier for clients to talk about problems without fear of judgement. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and has three years of practice experience.
Max has worked with adolescents in schools and with young people facing anxiety, depression and psychosexual concerns. He keeps sessions straightforward and practical, focusing on what is happening now and how to make gradual changes. He uses clear conversation and simple tools to help clients notice patterns and try different ways of coping.
Sessions are relaxed and adjusted to the person in front of him. Max aims to help clients make sense of their feelings and behaviour, and to set small, achievable goals. He prefers to be approachable and relatable in session so people feel able to talk openly.
He also offers support around attachment issues, commitment worries, dependent personality traits, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, and isolation or loneliness. Other areas he works with include men's issues, mood changes, process addictions such as pornography or gambling, seasonal affective disorder, sexuality questions, social anxiety and young adult issues.
Max describes his role simply: to help people become who they want to be. He encourages practical steps and regular review of progress during work together.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions fit
Many of the approaches Max uses are practical and focused on present problems. One common technique involves talking through repeated thoughts and behaviours to spot patterns and try different coping strategies; this helps with anxiety, low mood and stress. Another approach uses straightforward behavioural tasks and small experiments to test new ways of reacting; this can be useful for anger, process addictions and social anxiety.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Max will work with the client to identify which techniques suit their needs and goals, and adapt as progress is reviewed. The process is collaborative and the choice of methods can change as the work develops.
If you are considering sessions online, check the available session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around daily life, for example by cutting travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day, or letting someone join from wherever they are at the scheduled time. These practical benefits help many people maintain regular sessions and keep work moving forward.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
