Mark Maunsell-Thomas, NCPS

Mark Maunsell-Thomas is a counsellor with five years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. He supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, sleep problems and depression. He also works with addiction, grief, anger, low self-esteem and the strain of life transitions. Mark supplements sessions with recordings clients can use between meetings to reinforce progress.

Mark aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where people can talk about difficult feelings. He encourages practical steps and simple tools that fit into daily life. Sessions focus on what matters most to each person and on building resilience for setbacks.

His practice draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-informed work and mindfulness, alongside solution-focused ideas that look for what works now. These approaches are used to address issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, codependency and commitment worries. Mark also supports people dealing with chronic pain, illness and disability as part of coping with life changes.

Between sessions he provides audio recordings to practise breathing, noticing thoughts and grounding techniques. That extra work is intended to make sessions more effective and to help new habits take shape. The recordings are designed to be short and easy to use alongside everyday routines.

Mark works with people on the practical effects of emotional challenges, such as impulsivity, guilt, shame and problems around fatherhood or family roles. He frames therapy as a collaborative process and focuses on small, steady changes that add up over time.

How Mark’s approaches translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It focuses on what matters and on small steps to live a fuller life. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in how people relate to others and helps address worries about abandonment, trust and connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what feels helpful, and then try methods that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapeutic work into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow short check-ins when needed. Audio recordings and short exercises between meetings are used to reinforce progress and support practice in everyday moments.
