Marcia Holloway helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, addiction and depression. She supports those facing relationship and family tensions, trauma and abuse, sleep problems and low self-esteem. She also works with career stress, compassion fatigue and coping with life changes.

Marcia is named early to make it clear who will be listening and guiding you. Marcia takes a respectful, down-to-earth approach in sessions. She adapts the pace and structure to what each person needs.

Background and approach

Conversations are practical and focused on small, doable steps that add up over time. The aim is to help people feel steadier and more able to manage everyday demands. Her work draws on several well-known methods.

These include acceptance and commitment ideas that focus on values and action, attachment-based thinking about how relationships shape responses, and cognitive behavioural techniques to change unhelpful thinking and habits. Marcia also uses client-centred and dialectical behaviour ideas to keep the work grounded and relational.

With 23 years of experience, Marcia has supported people through issues such as abandonment, attachment struggles, body image concerns, and the stress of caregiving. She has worked with long-term conditions including chronic pain and cancer-related challenges, and with substance and alcohol problems. Sessions are offered in English and Marcia accepts international clients.

Practical formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. She encourages a collaborative start so goals are clear from the first meetings.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Marcia commonly blends cognitive behavioural therapy and attachment-based ideas to help people understand thoughts and relationship patterns. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing thinking or behaviour patterns that increase distress, which can help with anxiety, depression and sleep problems. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape emotional responses and can be useful for intimacy, abandonment and communication issues.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they adjust methods so sessions match the persons needs and pace rather than forcing a single technique.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different situations. Video sessions let people work face-to-face from wherever they are, phone calls need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family or health demands.
