About Mark

Mark Bullock is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years of experience. He works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, depression, addictions and parenting strains. Mark also supports people with relationship and intimacy-related issues and with challenges linked to work and life transitions.

He uses a blend of approaches that focus on how relationships and past experiences shape current difficulties. Sessions tend to centre on talking through problems, identifying patterns that cause stress, and testing calmer ways of responding. He encourages clients to notice practical steps they can take between meetings.

Mark often addresses attachment-related worries and issues around abandonment and commitment. He also works with people facing caregiver stress, fatherhood questions, or family problems that affect day-to-day life. When concerns involve anger, eating or dissociation, he aims to help clients understand triggers and develop steadier coping methods.

His work makes space for exploring emotions and life events that feel difficult to name. He combines client-centred listening with focused techniques from cognitive behavioural and emotionally focused approaches. Psychodynamic ideas are used when looking back at repeating patterns from earlier relationships.

Sessions are designed to be straightforward and practical. Mark asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first appointment. Costs vary by location and are handled through a cancellable subscription model.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions. It helps when worries link back to trust, closeness or repeated patterns with partners or parents. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what someone says so they can find their own solutions. It is useful for building confidence and exploring values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage low mood, or change unhelpful routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss your goals and preferences and together you will test which methods are most helpful. That may mean combining listening-based sessions with short, structured tasks or practical skills to try between meetings.

The original profile did not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around family life, work breaks or caregiving tasks. They can also allow for shorter check-ins when days are busy, or for sessions that avoid video when bandwidth or circumstances make that preferable.
