Mary Honeyball, BACP

Mary Honeyball is a counsellor with 20 years of experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety and low mood, and supports those struggling with motivation and self-esteem. Mary aims to make it easier to talk about difficult feelings by offering a calm, non-judgemental space.

She uses approaches that help people notice what matters to them and take practical steps towards change. Sessions focus on clear, manageable goals so people can try new ways of coping between meetings. Mary also pays attention to relationship strain, grief, parenting concerns and the impact of trauma and abuse on everyday life.

Her practice includes work around intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger and career transitions. Seasonal Affective Disorder is an additional area of focus for people whose mood shifts with the seasons. She also supports those dealing with compassion fatigue and life changes that feel overwhelming.

In the room Mary cultivates a straightforward, client-centred tone. Conversations are driven by what the person wants to achieve rather than technical language. People are treated with respect while they experiment with new habits and perspectives.

Mary holds BACP, which denotes registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. For someone nervous about starting therapy she asks for small first steps and works at a pace the person can manage.

How Mary’s approaches translate to online therapy

Mary uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice their values and take small committed steps, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and can help people understand and shift how they connect with others. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience so they feel supported to make their own choices.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the work. Mary will discuss goals and preferences in the first sessions and together they will decide which methods to use. This is a collaborative process that can change as needs evolve.

Confirm current session options before booking because formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also suit people who prefer talking without being on camera or who need flexible scheduling. Registered or accredited professionals like Mary aim to shape sessions around practical needs so therapy fits into everyday life rather than the other way around.
