Mark Bullock, BACP

Mark Bullock is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, addictions and anger. He also supports people facing relationship and intimacy difficulties and those coping with life changes and career pressure.

Mark emphasises that clients are the experts in their own stories. He uses that starting point to help people notice the strengths they already have. In sessions he listens, asks practical questions and helps people try different ways of responding to difficult feelings. The focus is on real-life steps rather than abstract theory.

He draws on a few core approaches to guide the work. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to spot thinking patterns and test new behaviours. Attachment-based ideas help look at how past relationships affect current reactions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and psychodynamic perspectives are used where exploring emotions and early patterns is useful.

People often come for help with anger that shows up at work, at home, or in relationships. Mark helps them recognise triggers, practise different responses and repair things that have been strained. Sessions also cover practical skills for stress management and coping when strong feelings arise.

His way of working is straightforward and practical. New clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange an initial session to talk about goals and what to try next.
