About Marcia
Marcia Holloway is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, depression, trauma, and sleep difficulties. She works with people facing low self-esteem, career uncertainty, compassion fatigue and other life changes. Marcia uses a straightforward, respectful approach and aims to tailor conversations to each person's needs.
She draws on a mix of approaches to suit different problems. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, helps people focus on what matters to them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings.
Marcia also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns, and she brings client-centred listening to make space for each person’s perspective. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, DBT, adds practical skills for managing strong emotions and staying steady during stressful times.
With 23 years of experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, Marcia combines practical tools with steady support. She aims to help people build skills for better sleep, healthier boundaries, and clearer priorities. The work is collaborative - she will help set goals and review them as you go.
Approaches you can use online and how they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it encourages action that matches what matters most to the person. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and sleep problems where avoidance gets in the way.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in earlier relationships and how they affect current trust, intimacy and communication. It can help with relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns and attachment issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try different techniques to see what fits. That collaborative process helps shape the plan and adapt it over time.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm the session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also make it possible to work with a registered professional in the UK from another location. The focus will be on practical tools for sleep, emotion regulation and pacing life changes, adapted to the online setting through conversation and skills practice.
