About Mark

Mark Bullock is a counsellor who specialises in supporting men with common life pressures. He draws on a client-centred approach to listen first and help people name what matters to them. Mark is registered with the BACP, and he brings seven years of practice experience to his work.

He offers a calm space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, depression and grief. He also works with issues around self-esteem, motivation and addictions. Mark aims to help people feel clearer about next steps and more able to manage everyday ups and downs.

Mark uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. He combines this with cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and try small experiments for change. He also draws on emotionally focused and psychodynamic ideas to understand deeper feelings and patterns.

Sessions are practical and conversational. Mark helps clients set realistic goals and tries to keep work relevant to day-to-day life. He encourages people to build on strengths they already have while learning new ways to cope.

He works with a wide range of concerns including relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting and fatherhood questions, ADHD, compassion fatigue and career stress. Mark supports people navigating life changes, bereavement, family problems and recovery from abuse or domestic violence.

People meet him in the United Kingdom and sessions are held in English. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used and then sessions are scheduled according to availability.

How his approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and emotional responses; online sessions use conversation and reflection to identify these patterns and try different ways of relating. Client-centred therapy focuses on what the person brings to the room, with the counsellor offering listening and unconditional support so clients can name priorities and make decisions. Cognitive behavioural therapy helps spot unhelpful thoughts and behaviour, and it uses short exercises and experiments to test new ways of coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, and decide together which methods to try. This is a collaborative process that can be adjusted over time as the person learns what helps.

Confirm the exact session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer to meet from a familiar setting or who need more flexible scheduling, while the therapist helps shape sessions to match the client's daily life and goals.
