Mark Bullivant

I am available Monday to Friday from 8.00 am to 7pm.

I believe as human beings we strive towards connection, understanding and growth. Our world is shaped by our deep desire to be known, seen and recognised.

We strive to come into contact with parts of ourselves that are at times frozen, stuck or suffering. Thwarted by deprivation, neglect, trauma or loss, the more profound and painful our longing to connect becomes. We all have a fundamental desire to grow, to heal and be loved.

I provide a positive, responsive and safe therapeutic relationship focusing on the mind and body responses to trauma, naturally produces chemicals and hormones, which enhance our ability to regulate our emotions, stress and neural firing. Thus promoting a change in feelings of depression, anxiety, loneliness or a general malaise and link us to a path towards greater peace and inner fulfillment.

We work together by looking at how past events and relationships can affect how you think, feel and act. We can explore how the body holds and expresses experiences and painful emotions. Traumatic events or unresolved emotional issues can be trapped inside. 

Pendulation: we cultivate an awareness of your bodily sensations  A guidance through the relaxed state to emotions that replicate the traumatic experiences and back. 

Titration: a safe guide through the traumatic experience paying attention to the physical sensations and addressing them in the here and now.

Resourcing: A recall of all the resources that promote our feelings of calm and safety. A special place or the people we trust.

 Helping to build up self esteem and providing a resilience to life's environmental influences. With different techniques like flash, rewind or emotional focused therapy your mind and body will feel rejuvenated and you will begin to thrive instead of survive. The benefits of the emotional focused therapy and existential questioning begins by saying yes to self care.  

You can expect a non judgemental safe space that is filled with compassion for the authentic voice to be heard and understood. 

Allows us to study our fit in the therapeutic frame and if the issues you wish to discuss are suited to the relationship.
