About Mark

Mark Bullock is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional experience. He works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, self-esteem and motivation. He also lists a range of other concerns including relationship and family issues, addictions, eating and parenting-related topics.

Mark treats the person rather than a label. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what matters most to the client. He uses clear, practical conversation to identify patterns that keep problems going and to try out different ways of responding.

His approach draws on Attachment-Based work, Client-Centred methods and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, among other approaches. That mix is used to understand how past experiences shape current feelings and to build tools for managing anxiety and stress. Mark emphasises exploring feelings, thoughts and actions together so people can make small changes that feel manageable.

People bring many kinds of concerns, from coping with grief to struggling with motivation or facing eating-related issues. Mark also names areas such as ADHD, intimacy-related difficulties and compassion fatigue as part of his practice. He keeps sessions straightforward and focused on problems the client wants to address.

To begin, a short questionnaire and an initial session are the usual first steps. Fees vary by location and sessions operate via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not taken at present.

How his approaches translate to online sessions

Attachment-Based work focuses on how early relationships influence current connections and feelings. Online sessions can look at patterns of closeness, avoidance and trust, helping people understand how those patterns affect stress and anxiety in everyday life.

Client-Centred therapy centres on the client's perspective and experience. The therapist listens without directing, and helps the person make sense of their feelings and choices. This approach is useful for issues such as low self-esteem, grief and problems with motivation.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to spot thought patterns and try different responses. CBT is often used for anxiety and stress because it gives step-by-step ways to test and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and how a method feels in practice, then adjust the work together over time. Clients are involved in choosing what to try and checking whether it helps.

The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and other commitments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or sessions without video if that helps someone focus on the conversation rather than being on camera.
