About Mark

Mark Maunsell-Thomas is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, sleeping difficulties and depression. He aims to build an open space where clients can talk honestly without fear of judgement.

Mark supports people who want practical tools to manage daily life. He shares short recordings between sessions to reinforce new skills. These resources are intended to speed up progress and keep work moving between meetings.

His approach combines practical strategies with attention to how relationships shape feelings. He often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas to help people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Mindfulness exercises are used to reduce worry and to support calmer routines around sleep.

Sessions focus on small, achievable steps rather than big, sudden changes. Mark helps people set goals they can try between meetings and then reviews what did and did not work. He emphasises learning that fits into everyday life and builds resilience for ups and downs.

People come to him for a range of concerns including grief, addiction-related issues, anger, self-esteem and coping with life changes. He also works with specific areas such as abandonment, attachment issues, chronic illness and fatherhood-related worries. Mark aims to empower clients so they can move towards a more balanced life.

How his approaches work for online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and choosing actions that match what matters to you. It can help with anxiety, low mood and problems that affect daily routines like sleep. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past and present relationships shape feelings and reactions, which can be useful for relationship worry, abandonment concerns and patterns such as codependency.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss the options with each person and decide together which methods fit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and to use short recordings between sessions as Mark does. It also allows for quieter check-ins, shorter reviews when needed, and the chance to practise tools in everyday settings without travelling to appointments. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical benefits to help people keep therapy part of their routine.
