About Mary
Mary Honeyball is a counsellor with two decades of experience working in the United Kingdom. She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what is worrying them. Her approach is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping people take practical steps toward feeling better.
She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts without getting overwhelmed by them. Attachment-based ideas shape how she looks at relationship patterns and long-standing emotional responses.
Background and approach
Client-centred work means sessions are guided by the person in front of her, not a fixed plan. Mary has supported people facing stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps those dealing with grief, family issues, trauma and abuse, and difficulties around intimacy.
Other areas she addresses include sleep and eating concerns, parenting strain, anger and career-related stress. Seasonal Affective Disorder is a named additional focus, and she offers support for compassion fatigue and coping with life changes. Over her 20 years she has developed a practical style that aims to make therapy understandable and usable in everyday life.
People who meet with Mary can expect straightforward conversation, practical ideas to try between sessions, and time to work through emotional material at a manageable pace. To start, readers should use the site controls to begin the matching process and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How Mary works online
Finding the right approach is part of working together. The therapist will discuss what feels most helpful for each person and try different ways of working until a good fit emerges. Decisions about methods and goals are made collaboratively, taking account of the person's needs, preferences and pace.
Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow a shorter check-in when time is limited, or a conversational session that does not require being on camera. Because the exact session formats are not specified here, please confirm the current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals often use online therapy to make regular therapeutic work more convenient while keeping the focus on practical change.
