About Marcia
Marcia Holloway helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, and low mood. She also supports those working through trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, sleep problems, low self-esteem, career change and compassion fatigue. Marcia writes plainly and aims to make the first steps toward change feel possible.
She uses a conversational, respectful style in sessions and adapts the pace to each person. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on practical ways to manage feelings and behaviour.
Background and approach
The therapist works with things like attachment wounds, abandonment fears and communication difficulties as part of that practical work. Marcia draws on approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred methods to shape sessions. She also uses attachment-based ideas and elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy when useful.
These are offered as tools to help with problems such as addiction, chronic health challenges, body image and caregiving stress. Marcia has 23 years of professional experience and is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English, including to international clients.
The therapist asks each person what they hope to achieve and co-creates a plan that fits their life. To begin, people choose the Start Therapy button, complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule according to therapist availability. Marcia uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, with fees varying by location and therapist availability.

How Marcia works online
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try ideas to see what fits. You can expect the plan to be reviewed and adjusted as you learn what helps most.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into daily routines and fewer barriers to attending when travel is difficult. Because the specific session formats were not listed in the biography, please confirm current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can use online work to offer regular check-ins, counselling conversations and skills practice that slot into busy lives without promising a particular format.
