Mark Maunsell-Thomas, NCPS

Mark Maunsell-Thomas is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. He focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, sleep problems and depression. He also supports people facing addictions, grief, anger and low self-esteem. Mark works in English and accepts clients from other countries.

Mark creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about difficult feelings. He encourages honest conversation and works at a pace that suits each person. Sessions are supported by recordings that clients can use between meetings to build skills and reinforce progress.

His approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy. These methods help people notice unhelpful patterns, connect with what matters, and build steadier emotional responses. He also uses solution-focused techniques to set clear, practical steps between sessions.

People come to him for a wide range of issues, including abandonment or attachment difficulties, chronic illness or pain, codependency, and problems with commitment or control. He helps with recovery from drug and alcohol addiction and navigating divorce and separation.

Mark aims to equip people with tools to manage life changes and reduce compassion fatigue. He offers recordings and practical exercises so learning continues outside sessions. The goal is to increase resilience and make everyday life easier to manage.

Practical approaches for online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes because it focuses on small steps that matter. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and helps people develop steadier ways of relating and feeling safer in themselves. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention exercises to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through what you want to change, try techniques that fit your goals, and adjust the plan as you go. That way the work stays practical and relevant to your life rather than following a fixed formula.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls let you work face to face, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can feel simpler, live chat can be useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and health commitments while still progressing with clear tools and exercises.
