Jonny Maxfield

I work from both Gosforth and Whitley Bay.

I am a male-focused psychotherapeutic counsellor, working with men navigating life’s challenges. Whether that’s stress, anger, anxiety, relationship difficulties, or a sense of disconnection. Many men come to therapy unsure of what to expect or how to talk about what they’re feeling. I aim to make therapy feel practical, compassionate, and useful.

I offer a supportive, non-judgemental space where men can speak honestly, be heard, and explore their thoughts and emotions at their own pace. My integrative approach draws on Transactional Analysis, neuroscience, and person-centred therapy, allowing us to explore long-standing patterns, understand how stress and emotions affect the brain and nervous system and work in a way that feels right for you. I focus on building a strong therapeutic connection, believing meaningful change grows through genuine human connection.

Together, we work to increase self-awareness, develop practical emotional tools, and create a more balanced and authentic way of living. Therapy with me is collaborative, compassionate, and centred on the experiences men navigate daily.

Above all, I aim to create a welcoming space where you can be yourself, speak openly and feel truly heard. We take the time to explore what’s on your mind and find a path forward that feels authentic, achievable, and supported.

Finding the right counsellor is an important part of the process. I offer a free 10-minute call to answer questions. If you decide to proceed, we can arrange an initial consultation to get to know each other and explore what might be most helpful for you. You are always free to decide whether I’m the right fit.

Sessions last 50 minutes and start from £65.

If you’d like to book a session or find out more, please get in touch by phone, email, or text.

I work from both Gosforth and Whitley Bay.

The first session is a chance to talk about what’s happening for you and explore how I can support you. I’ll ask some questions and take brief notes to help make a therapeutic plan but don’t worry, it won’t feel like an interrogation, more like a conversation with a notepad!
