About Mary

Mary Honeyball is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to help people find their own answers. She offers steady, non-judgemental support and listens closely to what matters most to each person. Her style aims to make talking about difficult things feel more manageable and direct.

With 20 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom, she has supported people facing stress and anxiety. She also helps those dealing with relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression and motivation problems. Seasonal Affective Disorder is an additional area she pays attention to when it affects mood and routine.

Mary blends Client-Centred Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas. That means sessions focus on what the person wants to change, noticing unhelpful patterns, and strengthening close connections. Conversations are practical and grounded rather than full of technical terms.

In sessions she encourages people to name their priorities, try small changes, and notice what matters most to them. She also helps with sleep and eating concerns, parenting stresses, anger, grief and career-related choices. Compassion fatigue and coping with life transitions are included in her work.

Her manner is calm and encouraging. She supports people who are ready to take first steps towards change. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details to find the best fit.

How her approaches fit with online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping people find their own answers; it is well suited to conversations about values, motivation and relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to small, meaningful actions aligned with their values. Attachment-Based ideas look at how past relationships shape current patterns and help people build more secure ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss which methods feel most useful based on your concerns, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where techniques are matched to what you want to achieve rather than imposed.

Session logistics should be checked before booking as specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people connect from different locations within the United Kingdom, while scheduling around work or family commitments.
