About Mary
BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 20 years of practice, Mary Honeyball works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, and low self-esteem. She helps people facing depression, sleep and eating difficulties, parenting and career strain, and issues linked to trauma and compassion fatigue.
Mary uses straightforward conversation to help people name what feels hard and to find practical next steps. Sessions focus on what matters to the person, and on small changes that can reduce distress day to day. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas, and client-centred listening in her work.
Her approach is conversational and goal-oriented. She pays attention to patterns in relationships and to how people respond to stress, and then tries simple strategies that fit into everyday routines. Seasonal Affective Disorder is a noted area of focus when mood changes with the seasons.
People can expect a steady, respectful process of trying ideas and checking what helps. Mary encourages people to discuss priorities such as sleep, parenting pressures, work stress or intimacy concerns and then work out manageable steps. The emphasis is on clarity and practical coping rather than jargon.
Her experience includes two decades supporting people through life changes and losses. Those looking to start are invited to follow the service's sign-up path to match with her and schedule an initial session.

How her approaches work for online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions tied to personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and when life changes make it hard to take purposeful steps.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions. This is helpful for people struggling with intimacy-related issues, trust or repeated conflict in relationships.
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on careful listening and reflecting what a person says so they can find their own solutions. It supports people who want a conversational space to sort out feelings about parenting, work or loss.
Working together, the therapist and client explore which approach or combination fits best. The therapist will check goals, test simple strategies, and adjust methods based on what the client prefers and what helps in practice.
Confirm the exact session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family commitments, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals use online work to focus on practical steps, tracking progress and adapting tools so they work in daily life.
