About Marcia

Marcia Holloway is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and addiction concerns. She also supports clients facing relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues and problems with sleep or self‑esteem. Marcia brings 23 years of experience to her work and holds BACP accreditation.

She keeps sessions straightforward and respectful. Conversations are shaped around what the client needs that week. She adapts the pace and focus so people can feel understood and work toward practical change.

Background and approach

Her approach blends talking therapies and skills-based methods. That can include noticing unhelpful thoughts, learning new ways to cope with painful emotions, and clarifying what matters most in life. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside attachment-aware ways of understanding relationships.

Marcia is used to helping people with long-term health challenges, caregiving stress, and issues around addiction and codependency. She also supports those dealing with career pressure, bereavement, or the fallout from separation and domestic violence. Clients bring a mix of concerns and she tailors work to each situation.

Sessions may cover short-term coping strategies as well as deeper patterns that keep problems repeating. Marcia aims to create a calm, non‑judgemental space so people can try new responses and rebuild confidence. She encourages practical steps between sessions to help changes stick.

Online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take action even when feelings are difficult. It is useful for depression, anxiety and coping with long-term health or caregiving stress. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical exercises. This approach often helps with sleep problems, anxiety and breaking patterns that feed depression. Attachment‑based ideas look at how past relationship experiences shape current reactions and intimacy issues, helping people change how they relate to others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different methods and together decide which fits the person’s goals and preferences. That collaborative planning means sessions can shift over time if a different focus would help more.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions work well when internet bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text‑based messaging suit quick check‑ins or people who prefer to write rather than speak. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and busy lives and allow the same therapeutic methods to be used across different session types.
