About Marcia
Marcia Holloway is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions and relationship strain. She also supports those coping with family conflict, depression, trauma and issues around intimacy and self‑esteem. Her work includes practical help for sleep problems, career stress and life transitions. Marcia is BACP registered and practises in the United Kingdom.
With 23 years of experience, Marcia shapes sessions around each person's needs. She uses plain language and a calm, respectful approach. Conversations are tailored so people can talk about what matters most to them and set realistic steps forward.
Her methods draw from a mix of well known therapies. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps with unhelpful thinking and routines. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports values‑based choices when emotions feel overwhelming.
Marcia also uses attachment‑focused work to look at how early relationships affect current connections. Client‑centred techniques keep the person’s experience at the heart of sessions, and elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy offer skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance.
She pays attention to broader issues such as chronic illness, caregiving stress, codependency and substance misuse. This means practical goals might include building boundaries, improving communication or managing cravings and relapse triggers.
People who contact Marcia usually want a straightforward, empathetic counsellor who helps them make sensible changes. To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to availability.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Marcia draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed, and it supports choosing actions that match personal values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact, and it is useful for anxiety, depression and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the process and Marcia treats it as a joint effort. She will discuss what fits your needs and goals, and adapt methods as you go. This collaborative planning means the work changes with your progress and preferences.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑in meetings when needed. It can also make it simpler to keep regular appointments during life changes, and it allows tools from CBT and ACT to be practised between sessions in everyday settings.
