About Mark
Counsellor Mark Bullock is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with seven years' experience. He works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem and confidence, and a wide range of related concerns including addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting and career stress. Sessions are conducted in English from the United Kingdom.
Mark uses a mix of practical and reflective ways of working. He draws on client-centred methods to listen and help people clarify what matters to them. He also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small steps that change day-to-day routines.
Attachment-based ideas shape how he notices relationship patterns and responses to loss or abandonment. Emotionally-Focused Therapy and psychodynamic approaches inform work with deeper emotions and past experiences that affect current coping. Together these approaches aim to make sense of patterns and find doable changes.
People come for many reasons, from persistent low mood and anxiety to trauma, anger, eating issues and ADHD-related struggles. He also supports people dealing with family problems, fatherhood concerns, separation and domestic violence consequences. Mark seeks to match the way he works to the concern a person brings.
Practical matters such as timing, session length and cost are covered when arranging a first meeting. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then book an initial session to see how the way of working fits them.
How Mark’s approaches work for online counselling
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships. It looks at how past bonds affect current reactions and helps people notice where they repeat difficult responses. This can be useful for issues such as separation, abandonment, trauma and intimacy-related problems. Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre. The counsellor uses listening and reflection to help someone clarify goals and find their own solutions. It is often helpful for stress, low self-esteem and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It aims to test unhelpful thoughts and try small, practical changes in everyday routines. That can suit anxiety, depression, and habit-related problems such as some eating or addictive behaviours. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and agree together what to try first, adjusting methods as needs and goals become clearer. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed set of steps. Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow check-ins from different locations. It can also offer options such as shorter check-ins or sessions without video for lower bandwidth or a quieter experience.Areas of expertise
