About Mark

Mark Maunsell-Thomas helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, sleep problems and depression using approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and mindfulness. He is registered with NCPS and has five years of professional experience in the UK.

Mark works in straightforward, practical ways. He uses recordings between sessions to reinforce learning and help people practise skills outside appointments. Sessions focus on tried methods to manage strong emotions, unhelpful thoughts and recurring behaviours that get in the way of daily life.

He pays attention to how past attachments and current relationships affect choices now. That can include patterns such as avoidance, codependency, control or commitment difficulties. Mark also supports people dealing with grief, addiction issues, anger and feelings of emptiness or guilt.

Mindfulness practices and acceptance-based techniques form part of his approach. He aims to give clients short, usable tools for sleep, stress and coping with life changes. Work tends to be goal-oriented and practical, using solution-focused methods when helpful.

Sessions are described in plain terms and Mark encourages between-session practice with audio materials. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and how online work can help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and choosing actions that reflect what matters to you. It can help with anxiety, low mood and living with long-term difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they influence current behaviour, which can be useful for relationship struggles, abandonment concerns and codependency. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve sleep and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mark will discuss which methods suit your needs, goals and preferences and will adapt the plan as you go. This is a collaborative decision made together over the first sessions so the focus fits your situation.

Please confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into everyday life, for example by cutting travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a workday, or enabling use of audio recordings between sessions to reinforce learning. Many people find the combination of session time and between-session practice accelerates progress without needing extra appointments.
