Mary Honeyball is a counsellor who uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. She works in the United Kingdom and brings 20 years of professional experience to her practice. Mary helps people talk through stress, anxiety, low mood and confidence issues in a straightforward way.

Mary focuses on building an open, non-judgemental space where people can share thoughts and feelings. She supports those coping with grief, trauma and relationship difficulties, and helps with everyday struggles like sleep, eating patterns and workplace pressure.

Background and approach

Seasonal Affective Disorder is also a named area of interest. In sessions she encourages small, practical steps alongside discussing values and goals. The approach often involves noticing unhelpful thoughts, practicing acceptance and connecting with what matters most.

Attachment-based ideas are used to understand how past relationships affect current patterns. Her client-centred style means sessions are shaped around each person’s needs and pace. People set the topics and work at a speed that feels manageable.

Mary aims to help people build skills they can use between sessions as well as making sense of difficult feelings. Over two decades of practice have included supporting people through career changes, parenting strain and compassion fatigue. She helps people develop clearer priorities, improve emotional coping and find steadier ways to respond to life’s pressures.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online working

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that matter, which can be practised between online sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses, helping people recognise and change repeating patterns. Client-Centred Therapy puts each person’s experience at the heart of the work, with the counsellor following the pace and priorities set by the client.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Mary will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit best with a person’s goals, needs and preferences. That joint process can start in a first session and be adapted as the work progresses so therapy stays relevant and useful.

Online formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy around everyday life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Messaging and live chat suit people who prefer written reflection or need frequent, flexible contact between sessions. These options support continuity and access from different locations.
