About Mary
Mary Honeyball is a counsellor with 20 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about anxiety, stress, low mood and relationship worries. Mary aims to help people take small practical steps toward clearer thinking and better day-to-day coping.
She uses approaches that focus on values, connection and the person at the centre of therapy. That means working together to understand what matters to the client and learning ways to respond differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. Sessions cover common concerns such as grief, self-esteem, motivation, career stress, eating and sleeping problems, and compassion fatigue.
Mary draws on twenty years of experience to tailor conversations to each person. She listens for patterns that keep people stuck and helps them try new responses in everyday life. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is also a recognised area of focus within her work.
The working style is warm and practical. Clients can expect straightforward reflection, gentle challenge, and collaborative planning. Mary encourages realistic, achievable changes that fit into a busy life.
Appointments are arranged using an online matching and scheduling process. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short questionnaire before booking so sessions can be matched to needs and availability.
Approaches that guide online conversations
Mary uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify personal values and take small actions that matter to them. This approach can be useful for anxiety, low mood and motivation struggles.Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at how early and current relationships influence feelings and responses. This work can help with intimacy concerns, relationship difficulty and understanding repeated patterns.
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of the session, with the counsellor offering attentive listening and reflecting back what matters most. This approach supports people who need a non-judgemental space to make sense of their feelings.
Choosing a therapeutic approach is a shared process. Mary will work collaboratively to find what fits a person’s goals and preferences, reviewing the plan as therapy progresses and adapting techniques where needed.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins during a work break or sessions without being on camera if that suits the client better. Many people find that remote sessions help sustain continuity of care when life is unpredictable.
