WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING

< >

It is my pleasure to write a testimonial for Mr. Max Chegwyn. I worked under Max guidance for over 1.5 years in 2024 and 2025. I also studied his online courses and other materials on his website makeitconscious.com. While the main focus was active imagination, our sessions soon evolved into deep analysis of dreams and significant experiences from my past that had impact on my current emotional and spiritual life. I benefited immensely from our sessions, and I am greatly impressed by Max’s vast and deep knowledge of human psyche, Jungian psychology, and philosophy in general. Particularly helpful in my self-discovery were moments when we were working on opposites that at the end of the session led to the unity of opposites, a new perspective on some aspect of my inner reality which felt like coming out of fog into a clear air. Max also prepared a Tarot Birth Chart which proved to be very useful in understanding various forces shaping my psyche. I am very grateful to Max for helping me to wake up and transform my inner life. I notice results of that in my interactions with people, world experiences, how I deal with obstacles, and the meaning of peace of mind. Max helped me better see how to work towards happy, fulfilling life.

Max's body of work is impressive and deeply relevant, starting with an elegant and accessible synthesis of some of the most important thinkers on the human condition, self-exploration and self-development. The models Max developed on Shadow work and the path of Individuation are one of a kind for anyone looking for deeper understanding and practical tools to support one's journey of self-knowledge and self-empowerment. His Know Yourself Programme courses, active imagination exercises, coaching, tarot & PDA reports and podcast series are powerful tools for these times. This is a period in history where we are called to claim back and embody our sovereignty as individuals aspiring to contribute our highest unique expression. We are invited to wholeness, through challenging yet empowering self-work. What Max is offering is there to support anyone ready for the challenges and potency of individuation.

I'm grateful to have the pleasure of knowing Max and benefiting from his insight and wholistic perspective. I derived a keen sense of direction, knowledge of self, and personal awareness through Max's coaching. I have had several tarot-based coaching sessions with Max. I really appreciate his approach. He shows a lot of respect and humility to the unconscious, and creates a bridge to conscious revelations through an organic and careful approach. His dedication to the art and his depth comes through in the readings. A soulful, intelligent and practical individual. You can't go wrong working with this man.

- CHRIS -

After nearly 2 years as an active member of a cult, my mind was quite muddled when I first encountered Max's coaching. Max immediately provided me a much needed source of listening and understanding. His skillful sharing of key insights and resources allowed me to understand the insidious ways in which the cult had been manipulating my thoughts and emotions. Throughout our interactions, I never felt that Max was pressuring me to think or behave in a certain way. Instead, he provided the type of patient and perceptive guidance that empowered me to discover my own path forward. When I came to Max, I was deeply deluded; through his coaching, I experienced a level of clarity and liberation that I hadn't consciously realized was missing.

- JAMES A. -

Max is a knowledgeable and outstanding person, whose passion for business and self-development along with a person-centred and solution focused approaches makes him a charismatic coach and consultant. Sometimes our own vision of the world can hold us back. And so, I have had the privilege of working with Max, who enabled me to "think outside of the box" and therefore expand myself in various areas by also highlighting both my personal and business potential – the elements that escaped my awareness. Our collaborative work was an empowering life changing success! Thus, I have no reservations in strongly recommending Max in whatever ventures he decides to pursue as he is an indispensable asset to anyone who he partners with.

- ANA NEVES -

First of all, I'd like to say thank you to Max. Having the coaching session with Max created one of the most significant turning points in my life and I am now on the new journey of my career and life. But what's more important, through this coaching session I had a chance to look deeply into something that I've been ignoring or didn't dare to stare at. It is HUGE progress in learning and exploring about myself. The combination of Personality Type and Max's knowledge of & wisdom gained from mindfulness, philosophy and psychology make his sessions very unique and helpful.

- CHING CHIEN TSAI -

I have no way to express how grateful and happy I am, it's unbelievable! For the past 5 years, I have struggled with a form of compulsory addiction/OCD for which I tried every therapist, and every type of therapy out there but to no avail, it was exhausting and draining, it has limited my life in every single way I couldn't function... it wasn't until I practiced your active meditation exercise on addiction, and something literally shifted in me, I woke up after the meditation and I'm just not the same, I don't feel the same, it was gone! no more compulsions! for years on end I struggled with this and I finally get to be free, I almost don't believe it! Thank you Max, I'll never get to say it enough I'm grateful for whatever divine inspiration that has led me to you, you have no idea how liberated I feel and grateful I am for how much this has helped me, thank you so much!

- GHASAQ K. -

Max has kindly provided me both with a birth chart and a Tarot reading. I had experimented with Tarot readings in the past but remained a little cautious about using it. Having found Max's YouTube material and his website, I came to realise that this was an individual with a rigorous analytical approach to the psyche and a genuine grounding in wisdom traditions. After a little reflection I asked Max for a reading, which for want of a better word, was extremely powerful. I am still reflecting on the synchronicities that I experienced during the reading, which Max oversaw masterfully. I'm from a western background and often struggle with the spiritual side of existence, trained as I am to dismiss it. Its both reassuring and inspiring to know that I now have someone I can trust to help me explore it.

- ALISTAIR W. -

Max is very well versed in Jungian psychology and he has a unique understanding and practical experience of working with archetypes and navigating the unconscious. I challenged Max with the results of over 5 months of inner work that I struggled to fully decode / integrate. In only 3 sessions we managed to work through the most challenging themes and make sense of them. Max did not simply tell me what stuff can mean, but he made sure I got enough support to uncover and understand the meaning for myself. And he did not stop there, he gently pushed me to connect larger themes together and experience another level of healing / resolution. Support over email between sessions was invaluable. His active imagination exercises are fantastically designed and I have learned deep lessons by using some of them. In summary, unconscious mind is a strange world where you can barely see your path and most of the time can't easily understand the language being spoken. The responsibility of doing the work is still on you, but the company of a guide like Max makes this task far less terrifying.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

IS THIS SHADOW WORK?

Yes. The work addresses both inner and outer shadow — inner shadow being what is difficult to confront in yourself and excluded from your self-image; outer shadow work being concerned with coming to terms with harm done by others, both to yourself and to others. Most approaches collapse this distinction.

HOW DO I KNOW IF I'M READY FOR THIS WORK?

If you have done a fair amount on your own and have the sense there is further to go, that is usually enough. Prior therapy, reading, or your own active imagination practice is useful context, not a requirement. The Perspectives call is there to establish whether this is the right fit.

WHAT HAPPENS IN THE COACHING SESSIONS?

Each session is one-to-one, online, and follows the material that is live for you at the time. The work is conducted under the MiC Method and draws on active imagination practice, the Shadow Map, and your psychological blueprints, adapted to what your situation requires. Sessions are not structured around a fixed curriculum. They go where the work needs to go.

HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT FROM THERAPY?

Therapy works toward diagnosis and symptom relief. This works toward individuation: becoming more fully what you already are, as a distinct individual, neither dissolved into the world nor severed from it. Therapeutic insights often emerge, but they are not the organising aim. This is not a substitute for therapy where that is genuinely what someone needs.

WHAT IF I HAVE QUESTIONS BETWEEN SESSIONS?

The programme includes access to the MiC AI coaching assistant, trained on the full body of Max’s work and available between sessions for reflection, practice support, and follow-up on session material. Email support is also available.

DO I NEED ANY PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OF JUNG OR PSYCHOLOGY?

No. Some clients arrive well read in Jungian psychology and some do not. The work meets you where you are.

WHAT KIND OF RESULTS CAN I EXPECT?

Clients describe naming dynamics that had shaped their experience for years without ever being visible to them. Patterns shifting that persisted through previous therapy. A developing capacity to read their own inner material rather than being at its mercy.
