Mark Maunsell-Thomas, NCPS

Mark Maunsell-Thomas is a counsellor with five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, sleep problems and depression. He aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared safely. He also supports people facing relationship difficulties and issues with addictions or grief.

He uses short recordings between sessions to keep progress going and make the most of face-to-face time. These materials are designed to practise skills and reflect on thoughts between meetings. He draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding.

Sessions are practical and skills-focused, with attention to everyday habits and thinking that affect mood and behaviour. He works collaboratively to build simple routines and coping strategies that fit daily life. He also helps people explore attachment and how past relationships shape current reactions.

Mark pays attention to a wide range of concerns including anger, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue and difficulties linked to chronic illness or pain. He can help with issues such as codependency, commitment or control struggles, and the fallout from separation or bereavement.

For people wanting change, he aims to equip them with tools for greater resilience. Sessions look to make progress in practical steps while recognising small gains matter. If you prefer straightforward language and a focus on thoughts and everyday habits, his style may suit you.

How Mark's approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It focuses on building small, value-based steps rather than trying to stop thoughts. Mindfulness Therapy involves simple attention exercises to reduce reactivity and improve sleeping and mood by practising awareness of the present moment. These methods suit worries, stress, sleep problems and low mood.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and try different techniques to see what fits best. Over time they can adapt the focus to respond to progress, setbacks or changing priorities.

The original profile does not specify which session formats are offered, so please confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy lives, making it easier to attend around work or family commitments, or to have shorter check-ins when needed. Between-session recordings are used to practise skills and keep momentum between meetings, which can be especially useful when juggling everyday responsibilities.
