About Mary

Mary Honeyball is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 20 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship strain and anger. She also supports those dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, sleep and eating concerns, and seasonal affective disorder.

Her style is straightforward and person-focused. Mary helps people talk through difficult feelings and the behaviours that follow. She aims to create an environment where clients can say what is on their mind and try out different ways of responding to stress and anger.

Mary draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which looks at values and practical steps to move forward while making space for difficult thoughts and feelings. She uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how past relationships shape current interactions. Her client-centred approach keeps the conversation focused on the person in front of her and their priorities.

Over two decades she has worked with a range of common life problems, including career strain, compassion fatigue and intimate relationship issues. She helps people break patterns that leave them feeling stuck, and practises straightforward techniques to manage tense moments and reduce ongoing resentment.

For people worried about temper, Mary offers clear, practical conversations about triggers, boundaries and responses. She encourages small, repeatable changes rather than quick fixes. To begin, follow the site steps to match and book a first session.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying what matters to the client and taking small actions in that direction, while allowing difficult thoughts and feelings to be present. It can help with ongoing irritability, worry and the avoidance patterns that feed anger. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how earlier relationships affect present reactions and trust. This approach can clarify why certain situations trigger strong responses and help people practise different ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy keeps the conversation driven by the person’s own priorities, with the counsellor reflecting and clarifying rather than directing. This approach supports people who want to talk through their feelings about work, family or relationships in a straightforward way. Finding the right method is part of the work. Mary will collaborate with each person to decide which approach or mix of approaches fits their needs, goals and preferences. That decision is revisited as progress is made. Confirm the session formats before you book since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit talks into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in when needed, or reduce the need to travel. These practical benefits help therapy fit into everyday life rather than asking life to change around it.
