George Maxwell

I am a BABCP Accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist with over 8 years of experience working in mental health. I provide CBT and Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) for a wide range of disorders including Depression, Generalised Anxiety, Panic, PTSD, OCD and Phobias. I'm based in Liverpool, which is were I deliver much of my face to face therapy, but I also provide therapy over Skype and by phone. Feel free to take a look at my website at www.accesscbt.co.uk for more information about the type of therapy I offer.

I also have a special interest in working with depression in males during the post-natal period. You can take a look at my website at www.depressioninnewdads.com, and see the full range of CBT based self help articles available. You can also subscribe to find out more about upcoming low-cost CBT webinars.

I have been employed in the NHS since 2006, initially as a graduate mental health worker and currently as a CBT Therapist.

I have been running my private therapy clinic since 2013.

I work hard to facilitate a positive relationship with every client with whom I work, being down-to-earth but still professional in manner.
