Mary Honeyball, BACP

Mary Honeyball is a UK-licensed therapist with 20 years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, and significant life changes. She works with a broad range of concerns including self-esteem and motivation, depression, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting and family matters, anger, career decisions, and compassion fatigue, with additional focus on Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).

Using approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy, Mary helps clients examine thoughts, emotions, and behaviours in practical, value-driven ways. She aims to provide an open, nonjudgmental space where feelings can be explored safely and where clients can begin to identify achievable steps toward change. Mary combines empathetic listening with practical guidance to help people clarify priorities, strengthen relationships, and build confidence.

She is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which reflects her adherence to professional standards in the United Kingdom. Mary works collaboratively with each person to shape therapy around their goals and preferences, offering steady support as clients take the first steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Mary practices several evidence-informed methods that translate well to online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and build actions that align with those values, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and motivation struggles. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape current connections and helps repair or strengthen bonds in close relationships and family dynamics. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathic listening and unconditional positive regard, creating a collaborative space for clients to explore feelings and make personal changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Mary works collaboratively with clients to identify the methods that best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts her style as the work evolves to ensure a good fit.

Online sessions - via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer practical benefits such as scheduling flexibility and easier access from home or work. These options make it simpler to maintain regular sessions and apply therapeutic strategies between meetings while working with a registered professional who can tailor the process to each client's life.
