About Marcia
Marcia Holloway is a counsellor with 23 years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, and trauma and abuse. Marcia is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and works in an empathetic, non-judgemental way.
Her style is conversational and goal-focused. Sessions are shaped around what each person brings and what they want to achieve. She listens carefully, helps people name what is troubling them, and works with them to find practical steps forward.
Marcia uses a mix of approaches depending on the issue. These include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. She matches techniques to the person rather than offering a one-size-fits-all plan.
She also has experience supporting issues around intimacy, sleeping problems, self-esteem, career pressures and coping with life changes. Additional areas she works with include caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, body image concerns, and substance use difficulties.
People who choose to work with her can expect straightforward conversation, collaborative goal-setting and practical tools to try between sessions. The emphasis is on real-life changes that fit a person’s day-to-day situation.
How therapeutic approaches can work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thought patterns and testing practical changes in behaviour to reduce symptoms like low mood or sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current trust and intimacy, which can be helpful for relationship and abandonment concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made, so therapy feels personal and relevant.
Please confirm the current online session options before booking because the biography does not list formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or offering options that suit quieter surroundings. Registered and accredited professionals can use different ways of meeting that help people balance therapy with everyday commitments.
