About Mark

Mark Maunsell-Thomas is an NCPS counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, sleeping problems and depression, and he lists addiction, grief, anger and self-esteem concerns among his areas of focus.

He describes sessions as a place to talk without judgment. He uses recordings between meetings so people can practise techniques at home and get more from their time together. That approach is intended to speed up progress and make sessions feel more practical.

Mark draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness ideas to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck. He also uses attachment-based work to look at patterns that come from close relationships. Solution-focused methods shape shorter-term goals and small steps forward.

In practice he offers straightforward tools and exercises to use between sessions. People can expect conversational sessions with clear suggestions and recorded materials to try afterwards. The style is direct and focused on building resilience for day-to-day life.

He works with a wide range of issues that often sit with guilt and shame, including abandonment, codependency, fatherhood issues, forgiveness and impulsivity. Sessions are carried out in English, and he accepts clients from outside the UK.

Working with ACT, attachment and mindfulness online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It focuses on learning small skills to carry on with life despite painful feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and reactions, helpful for issues like abandonment, codependency and fatherhood concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills that reduce reactivity and aid sleep and anxiety management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, preferences and everyday pressures and then agree which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as sessions progress.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit work into a busy week, reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use recorded exercises between meetings. These practical benefits can help maintain momentum while trying the approaches described above.
