About Mary

Mary Honeyball uses a person-centred approach alongside acceptance and commitment ideas. She keeps sessions straightforward and practical so people can try new ways of coping. Mary introduces steps that help with day-to-day stress and longer-term struggles such as low mood or difficult relationships.

Mary has twenty years of experience working in the UK. She has supported people with anxiety, depression, grief and trauma-related concerns. She also helps with issues around self-esteem, intimacy, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting pressures, career strain and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

In a typical session Mary listens without judging and helps clients notice what matters to them. She often uses acceptance and commitment techniques to help people make space for hard feelings while choosing actions that match their values. Attachment-focused ideas help when relationships and closeness are getting in the way of feeling safe or understood.

Mary aims to make the talking room feel calm and clear. She explains ideas in plain language and agrees small, practical steps with each person. That can mean short experiments between sessions or new ways of handling difficult conversations.

Mary is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. The process starts with a short questionnaire to match needs and preferences before scheduling ongoing sessions.

How therapy approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck. It focuses on choosing actions that match what matters to you, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and motivation problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early experiences affect closeness today; it can help when trust, intimacy or conflict cause ongoing distress. Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work and emphasises empathic listening and a non-judgemental space to talk.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Mary will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and help decide which ideas to try first. That choice is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses, with practical exercises agreed between sessions.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good when visual contact helps understanding, while phone calls suit people who need a simpler connection or lower bandwidth. Live chat and messaging can work for short check-ins, written reflection, or when someone needs flexible timing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel, and they allow people to continue sessions from different locations within the United Kingdom.
