About Mark
Mark Maunsell-Thomas is an NCPS-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, sleep problems and depression. He also supports people dealing with addiction, grief, anger and low self-esteem.
Mark keeps sessions straightforward and practical. He encourages clear talk about feelings and thoughts and aims to create a non-judgemental space for that to happen. He uses session recordings to support learning between meetings so progress is not limited to appointment time.
In his work he draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful patterns and choose values-based action. Attachment-based ideas are used where relationships and past connections shape present difficulties. He also uses solution-focused techniques to set small, achievable steps between sessions.
People often contact him about life changes, coping after loss, problems with control or commitment, and issues such as codependency or abandonment that affect adult relationships. He has particular experience supporting fathers with role-related stresses and those living with chronic illness or pain.
Sessions aim to build practical skills for everyday life, including sleep routines, emotional regulation and relapse prevention for drug or alcohol problems. International clients can work with him in English. To begin, follow the site process to complete a short questionnaire and book a first session.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people learn to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that reflect their values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and getting unstuck when life feels directionless.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and support better sleep and emotional regulation. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current relationships and helps people try different ways of relating when old responses no longer serve them.
Working out which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels practical for the client, then pick methods together. That collaborative choice can change over time as needs shift.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around studying, work and travel, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use recordings between meetings to reinforce new skills. Registered or accredited professionals can help adapt exercises so they work in day-to-day life.
