Mary Honeyball , BACP

Mary Honeyball is a UK-based therapist with two decades of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, depression and motivation challenges. She holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which indicates professional training and adherence to recognised practice standards in the United Kingdom. Over 20 years she has worked with a wide range of concerns including grief, family and parenting issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related difficulties, eating and sleeping problems, anger, career transitions, compassion fatigue and seasonal affective disorder.

Mary approaches therapy with a focus on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly. She helps clients articulate what matters to them, build resilience and develop practical ways to move toward a more satisfying life. Seeking change can feel daunting, and Mary frames the work as a collaborative process in which she supports and empowers people to take the steps they choose toward greater wellbeing.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Mary Honeyball draws on evidence-informed methods to help clients navigate difficult emotions and life changes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without becoming overwhelmed by them, then clarifying personal values and taking small steps toward a more meaningful life - it is often helpful for anxiety, stress and motivation struggles. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships, exploring how early bonds influence current connections and helping people build more secure, satisfying relationships and healthier emotional responses. Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the heart of the work, offering empathic listening and support so clients can discover their own solutions and strengthen self-worth.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Mary works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and she adjusts the approach as the work evolves to ensure the best possible fit.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call or phone allow face-to-face interaction from home, while live chat and text-based messaging provide options for shorter or more frequent check-ins. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access consistent support when in-person visits are not convenient, helping people stay engaged with the work over time.
