Mark Bullock

Mark Bullock is a counsellor with BACP accreditation who helps people navigate anger, stress and anxiety. He frames therapy as a partnership and aims to support people who want clearer thinking and steadier mood. He encourages small steps and practical changes that fit everyday life.

He has seven years of experience working in the UK and has supported people dealing with trauma, grief, low self-esteem and motivation. His background includes work with a wide range of concerns such as addictions, eating issues, ADHD and relationship difficulties. This practical experience shapes how he plans sessions and sets goals.

In sessions he listens for how past relationships and attachment patterns influence current reactions. He uses client-centred listening to make space for what matters most to the client. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy tools are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try alternative responses.

He also draws on emotionally focused and psychodynamic ideas to help people understand emotional patterns and the meaning behind strong feelings. Therapy is explained in plain language and tools are offered in ways that can be tried between sessions. The aim is to increase choice when anger or stress feels overwhelming.

People are invited to take the first step at their own pace. Mark supports practical problem solving alongside emotional understanding. He works with issues such as parenting strain, career stress, compassion fatigue and separation, always keeping the client’s priorities central.

How his approaches translate to online counselling

Mark uses Client-Centred Therapy to make sure the conversation stays focused on what matters to the client. That means the counsellor listens actively and follows the person’s lead to uncover what feels most important. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavioural experiments that can lessen anger or anxiety in day-to-day life. These exercises are practical and can be reviewed together in sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will help clients decide which methods to try based on their needs, goals and what feels comfortable. The plan is often reviewed so techniques can be adjusted. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into busy lives and the ability to continue work when travel is difficult. Some people find shorter check-ins or phone-style conversations helpful when time or bandwidth is limited, while others prefer longer talks. Session formats are not specified here, so confirm the current options before booking to know what will work best for everyday routines.
