About Mark

Mark Bullock works with people on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self‑esteem and motivation using approaches drawn from attachment work, client‑centred practice and cognitive behavioural methods. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has seven years' experience working with these concerns in the United Kingdom.

He describes people as the experts in their own story and focuses on recognising existing strengths. In sessions he listens to what matters most and helps the person outline small, practical steps. Conversations aim to make problems easier to manage and to increase everyday coping skills.

Mark uses attachment‑based ideas to look at how past relationships affect current feelings and patterns. He also draws on client‑centred counselling to keep sessions focused on the client's priorities and pace. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when helpful to identify unhelpful thinking and test new ways of responding.

Sessions cover a wide range of issues including addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strains, eating and food‑related problems, and work or career stress. He also works with people who experience dissociation, attachment difficulties, control and commitment issues, and compassion fatigue.

Mark aims for clear, practical conversations rather than technical language. He helps people set realistic goals and checks progress between sessions. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used and a first session is scheduled to agree immediate priorities and next steps.

How his approaches translate to online counselling

Attachment‑based work looks at how early relationships shape feelings and patterns in close relationships; it helps with trust, abandonment and attachment issues. Client‑centred counselling focuses on listening and following the client's priorities, helping someone clarify what matters and make choices. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at thinking and behaviour patterns, and help people test small changes to reduce distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mark will discuss different ways of working and agree what fits the person's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and he revisits the plan as needed.

The biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow sessions during a short break from work. They can also let someone choose whether to use video, audio or a shorter check‑in, depending on what suits practical needs.
