About

About Mark

Mark Bullock is a counsellor who blends practical, person-centred support with structured approaches. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and depression. He also helps with trauma, grief, self-esteem and motivation.

Mark works with issues around addiction, parenting and relationship concerns too. Mark uses a mix of client-centred ways of working and evidence-informed techniques. Sessions begin by listening to what matters most to the person.

He builds on existing strengths to set small, manageable goals.

Background and approach

Conversations aim to feel steady and straightforward rather than rushed or clinical. With seven years of experience and BACP registration, Mark brings steady practice to each session. He has worked with people facing sudden life changes and long-term difficulties.

That background informs clear, practical steps for coping and change. His approach pays attention to how early relationships shape current feelings and patterns. This can help when someone struggles with attachment, abandonment, or recurring relationship worries.

Where helpful, he also uses cognitive tools to spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviours. People who contact Mark often want help feeling calmer, more confident or clearer about next steps. He supports fathers and others with parenting strains and with stress linked to caregiving.

Conversations are collaborative, paced to the individual, and focused on useful, everyday changes.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online therapy

Mark uses client-centred therapy and attachment-based ideas as core parts of his online work. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and understood; it helps when someone needs space to make sense of stressful feelings. Attachment-based therapy looks at how past relationships shape current patterns and can be useful for worries about abandonment, trust or recurring relationship problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as you progress or as different issues come up.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are useful when visual cues matter, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging suit short check-ins or days when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, childcare or caregiving commitments, and to use the format that feels most comfortable for each step of the process.
