About Mark
Mark Maunsell-Thomas is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has five years of professional experience. He works in the United Kingdom with people concerned about stress, anxiety, relationships, sleep problems and depression. He also supports those dealing with addiction, grief, anger and low self-esteem.
He prefers straightforward sessions where clients can talk about what matters most to them. He aims to listen without judgment and to help people notice practical steps they can try between appointments. He often provides short recordings so people can practise between meetings and get more from the time they spend together.
His work uses methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy, with some elements of Solution-Focused Therapy. These approaches inform how he helps people manage difficult thoughts, cope with changes, and work on patterns that affect relationships.
Mark pays attention to patterns such as abandonment and attachment issues, avoidant personality traits, codependency, and control or commitment struggles. He also supports people facing chronic pain, illness or disability and those recovering from drug or alcohol problems.
Sessions are pragmatic and focused on helping people build resilience for day-to-day life. He encourages clients to try short exercises between sessions and to reflect on what does and does not help. For people in the UK and beyond who prefer a clear, practical approach, his work is direct and task-oriented.
How Mark uses therapy approaches in online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and difficulty making changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they show up now, which can be useful for relationship stress and feelings of abandonment. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and improve sleep or stress management.Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Mark will talk with clients about goals and what feels most useful. Together they test methods and adjust the plan based on what actually helps in daily life.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Many people find online counselling helps fit appointments into busy schedules, makes shorter check-ins possible and removes travel time. Recordings and short exercises between sessions can be used to practise skills and make the most of regular meetings. Registered or accredited professionals often find online work lets clients keep momentum while fitting therapy around work, family and other commitments.
