About Marcia
Marcia Holloway is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and addiction concerns. She also supports those facing relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Marcia speaks English and works with people who want practical ways to feel steadier in day-to-day life.
She keeps conversations respectful and direct, and adapts each session to what the person needs right now. Sessions focus on understanding patterns that cause pain, and on learning small, realistic skills to cope better. Marcia aims to make the work feel straightforward rather than overwhelming.
Her approach draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy. She also uses client-centred and Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas when they fit the situation. These tools are used to help with things like managing difficult emotions, improving communication, and addressing unhelpful behaviours.
Marcia has worked in the field for 23 years and holds BACP registration. She brings that experience to simple, practical plans tailored to each person. Work can cover topics from career stress and sleep problems to caregiving strain and codependency patterns.
People who choose to work with her usually begin with a short questionnaire to match goals and plan sessions. The process is collaborative and paced to fit what someone is ready to change.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match your values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and problems where avoidance keeps you feeling stuck.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and routines, and tests small changes to shift how you feel and act. It is often used for anxiety, depression and sleep difficulties.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns that formed in close relationships and how they affect current connections. It can help with intimacy concerns, abandonment worries and communication problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. Together they will try methods that suit the person's needs and adjust them over time.
The biography does not list specific online session types, so please confirm the available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and let people have sessions from quieter surroundings. Some approaches suit shorter check-ins while others use longer conversations, and Marcia will help match the session rhythm to what fits day-to-day life.
