Marcia Holloway, BACP

Marcia Holloway is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, family conflict and midlife transitions. She works with depression, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, sleep problems and low self-esteem. Marcia also supports people dealing with career uncertainty, compassion fatigue and other major life changes.

Marcia offers a calm, respectful style and adapts her approach to each person. She listens first and then works with clients to agree practical steps they can try between sessions. Conversations are focused and down-to-earth, aimed at reducing overwhelm and building clearer choices.

Her ways of working draw on several approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas. She uses techniques from these methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns, try new responses and reconnect with personal values.

Marcia has worked in the field for more than two decades and holds BACP registration, which is listed as a credential. That experience underpins a steady, practical approach to problems that can feel confusing or stuck.

People who come to her often want a therapist who listens without judgment and helps them make tangible changes. She encourages small steps and regular review so progress can be tracked and adapted as life evolves.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with what matters to them. It uses simple exercises to clarify values and guide small, meaningful actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns by trying out new ways of reacting and tracking what works. Attachment-Based ideas look at how early relationships shape current patterns and help people build different ways of relating and feeling safe with others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss options, listen to your goals and preferences, and agree a plan that combines methods suited to your situation. The aim is to be collaborative and practical so you can test changes in everyday life.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work or caregiving, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and home practice so therapy links directly to your daily routines.
