About Mark
Mark Bullock is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, and a range of relationship and intimacy-related issues. He also addresses parenting and fatherhood concerns, ADHD, career strain, and the effects of major life changes.
Mark uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based, client-centred, cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic approaches. He treats emotions and relationship patterns as central to change and helps people name and make sense of difficult feelings. Sessions involve listening, reflecting, and helping clients notice how feelings shape choices and behaviour.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation about the problems they bring. Mark helps people identify patterns that maintain distress and then experiments with different ways of responding. He draws on CBT for practical skills work and psychodynamic ideas to look at repeating patterns from the past.
He works with issues linked to abandonment, attachment difficulties, and personality-related patterns such as avoidant or dependent traits. Mark also supports people dealing with family problems, separation, domestic violence impacts, dissociation, and eating or food-related difficulties.
Sessions are conducted in English. Practical steps to begin are outlined on his profile, including a short questionnaire and scheduling a first meeting. The cost of sessions varies by location and uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How his approaches translate to online work
Mark commonly uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people name and work with the emotions that fuel relationship patterns and attachment worries. EFT focuses on identifying core feelings, expressing them clearly, and testing new ways of relating that reduce repeated conflicts or withdrawal.He also draws on attachment-based therapy which looks at how early bonds affect current relationships and sense of safety. Attachment work helps when people feel abandoned, avoidant or struggle to trust close others. Client-centred therapy is used alongside these approaches to keep sessions focused on the client’s perspective and priorities, with the therapist following the client’s pace.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mark will discuss the different methods and agree a plan based on the client’s goals, preferences and what feels most helpful in early sessions. This is a collaborative process that may use elements from more than one approach.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact session formats offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Ask about the practical options available when you complete the initial questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.
