Marcia Holloway, BACP

Marcia Holloway supports people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, depression, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related issues. She also helps with sleeping difficulties, low self-esteem, career worries, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes. Marcia works with people dealing with abandonment, attachment problems, body image, chronic illness and pain, and challenges such as codependency, commitment worries, and communication problems.

Marcia uses a conversational, respectful style. She says the first step is listening to your story. Together she and the client shape a plan that fits the person's needs and pace. Sessions are practical and focused on what you want to change.

Her practice draws on several well-known approaches. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy are among the methods she uses to help people manage symptoms and develop new habits. The counsellor adapts techniques to suit each situation rather than applying one fixed method.

Marcia has 23 years of experience and holds BACP registration, which is recorded here as BACP. She works from the United Kingdom and offers services in English. International clients can be accepted depending on arrangements.

Therapy sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button, fill a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. Marcia aims to empower people as they take steps toward more fulfilling lives.

How these approaches are used in online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and issues where avoidance keeps life narrowed. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behaviour that maintain problems and then practising alternative skills. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression and sleep difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people build more secure ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. The therapist will listen to your situation and suggest options based on your needs, goals and preferences. Together you will try methods and adjust the plan if something does not fit, so the process is collaborative rather than one-size-fits-all.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work, caregiving or travel. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it possible to attend from different locations. Many people find this flexibility helps them sustain regular work on goals and apply new skills into everyday life.
