About Mark

Mark Maunsell-Thomas is a counsellor with five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He supports people facing stress, anxiety and sleeping problems, and he also works with depression and issues around relationships. He aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where people can speak freely about thoughts and feelings.

Mark focuses on practical support. Sessions include reflections on what’s happening now and short exercises to try between meetings. He often shares recordings for use between sessions to reinforce learning and speed progress.

His approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness and attachment-based ideas. That means he helps people notice what matters to them, try small steps towards those values, and pay attention to patterns that keep causing pain. These methods are used alongside solution-focused techniques to help people identify and test simple changes.

People come to him with a wide range of struggles such as addictions, grief, anger, low self-esteem and coping with life changes. He also works with concerns like abandonment, codependency, chronic illness, commitment and control issues. Mark seeks to equip people with tools to increase resilience and manage the ups and downs of life.

He accepts international clients and runs sessions in English. To begin, users follow the site’s Start Therapy process to match and schedule according to availability.

How his approaches fit into online therapy

Mark uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and to take steps that match their values. ACT tends to focus on small, meaningful actions rather than fighting every uncomfortable thought.

He also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to help people build simple attention practices and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness exercises can support sleeping problems, anxiety and rumination by training attention and calm.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to agree which methods suit their goals and preferences. Plans may adapt over time as needs change and progress is reviewed together.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, whether someone needs a shorter check-in, wants to avoid travel time or prefers using recordings between meetings. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor exercises and provide recordings to use between sessions to help carry progress into everyday life.
