About Mark
Mark Maunsell-Thomas is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. He works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, sleep problems and depression. He also supports those coping with addiction, grief, anger and low self-esteem.
Mark keeps sessions straightforward and practical. He offers recordings clients can use between meetings to reinforce what they cover together. This is intended to help people use skills away from sessions and get more from each appointment.
He draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-focused ideas and mindfulness to help people notice their patterns and try small changes. Sessions include short, directed tasks and conversational work so people can practise new responses without being overwhelmed.
People who find themselves prioritising others, struggling to set boundaries, or feeling stuck after relationship problems may recognise the issues he lists, including codependency and attachment difficulties. He works on concrete steps for clearer boundaries, steadier moods and better sleep rather than offering quick fixes.
Mark asks people to treat the first meeting as a chance to talk about immediate concerns and practical goals. He then helps shape the next sessions around what fits best - using recordings and brief exercises between meetings to build on what they discuss.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and take actions that match their values. Online sessions can include brief exercises and recordings to practise noticing and making small changes between meetings.Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns people form with others and how those patterns affect relationships. In a remote setting this can mean talking through relationship moments, identifying repeating dynamics and trying alternative responses in real life, then reflecting on what changed.
Mark treats choice of approach as a collaborative decision. He will work with the person to test what feels helpful and adapt methods according to goals and preferences. That might mean trying mindfulness exercises one week and a solution-focused task the next, then checking what worked.
If you are planning to meet online, confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into daily life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it possible to use audio-only or recorded exercises between meetings. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical options to help therapy fit around work, parenting and other routines.
