About Mary
Mary Honeyball uses a warm, person-centred way of working to help people navigate stress and anxiety. She brings 20 years of experience in the United Kingdom and focuses on practical steps that make day-to-day life more manageable. Her approach aims to help people feel heard and regain a sense of direction.
She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values.
Background and approach
Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how early relationships affect current patterns, especially in close connections. Client-centred methods keep the work grounded in the person’s own experience and pace. Mary commonly supports people dealing with grief, depression, low self-esteem and relationship challenges.
She also helps with sleep and eating difficulties, parenting strain, career stress and compassion fatigue. Seasonal Affective Disorder is an additional focus when mood shifts with the seasons. Sessions are intended to be a non-judgemental space for talking through feelings and figuring out small, doable changes.
Practical strategies are balanced with listening and reflection so people can try things between sessions. The tone is collaborative rather than prescriptive. Over two decades Mary has worked with a range of situations that cause distress and uncertainty.
Her aim is to help people build coping skills and clearer choices. The work moves at a pace that feels right for each individual.

Approaches Mary lists

Online support
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns that began in earlier relationships and how they show up now. This can help with relationship difficulties, intimacy-related issues and how people respond to stress or loss.
Client-Centred Therapy keeps the conversation focused on the person’s experience and rhythms. The counsellor listens carefully and follows the person's lead to build trust and clarity about next steps.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Mary will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods together with each client so the plan fits their situation and pace.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let visual cues guide the conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, and live chat or text-based messaging suit brief check-ins or days when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on steady progress.
