About Mary
Mary Honeyball uses gentle, person-centred ways of working to help people manage difficult feelings and life changes. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside attachment and client-centred ideas to help people notice what matters most to them and make small, practical changes. Mary has 20 years of experience and works from a compassionate, down-to-earth stance.
She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low mood and grief. She also supports those facing relationship worries, parenting strain, sleep and eating problems, anger, career uncertainty and compassion fatigue. Seasonal Affective Disorder is a particular area of focus.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and non-judgemental. Mary encourages people to talk through what is getting in the way and to try simple experiments between meetings. The approach mixes listening with practical strategies tailored to the person’s life.
Her experience includes two decades of working with adults across common life challenges and trauma-related concerns. The emphasis is on building clarity about values, improving important relationships and finding day-to-day coping tools.
People who choose to work with Mary can expect a calm, steady presence and collaborative planning. She aims to support realistic steps towards change while paying attention to the emotional impact of that work. If you want a therapist who will listen and help you map out the next steps, Mary can be a steady guide.
How Mary’s approaches translate to online therapy
Mary uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters and take small steps in that direction. ACT focuses on values, mindful noticing and committed action, which can be practised between sessions to build steady change.Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions. This approach can help people understand patterns that affect close relationships and intimacy-related concerns.
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of sessions, with the therapist offering listening, acceptance and gentle reflection to help people find their own solutions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mary will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adapts plans as progress and challenges emerge.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives - for example, sessions can reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins in a lunch break or remove the need to be on camera if that helps. Registered or accredited professionals can offer these flexible ways of meeting to help therapy fit into everyday routines.
