Counselling in Southampton

I am an accredited integrative counsellor/psychotherapist. I am trained in a variety of different counselling theories and aim to provide a safe, non-judgemental and confidential relationship, by walking alongside you, facilitating healing and enabling you to reach your goals. Counselling provides support and professional help by talking about the problems you are experiencing in life. I currently see clients online. Do feel free to contact me for an initial online chat or phone call.

I offer confidential, client focused psychotherapy, Face-Face & Zoom worldwide . Through dialogue and the shared exploration of your life, you may find relief from recurring problems, live your life more fully and realise your full potential. Therapy is a personal and individual process of change, as well as understanding. This is an opportunity to take time and space to think about yourself and the problems you may be facing. By talking to a trained psychotherapist you may find it easier to understand how past experiences, thought patterns and behaviour, or anxieties about the future are causing difficulties in your daily life.

I am passionate about supporting individuals with their psychological health and well-being.

Having experience of providing both short and long-term therapy, I offer a therapeutic space for self-discovery and growth, helping with the facilitation of individuals reconnecting with themselves, family members and society.

Welcome. It can feel difficult to start with counselling, so let me start by saying the work we do will be guided by your own choices and needs. You can express these in a confidential space of emotional safety and we can explore what is happening for you and better understand it. Together we can define and move towards your goals at a pace that suits and feels safe to you. I work with low mood, sadness, anxiety, depression and feelings of being overwhelmed.

My name is Marcia Holloway, and I am a Registered Member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) registration number 386872. I specialise in working with people experiencing addiction, associated with Drugs, Alcohol, and other forms of addiction. I offer personal (individual) therapy, as well as family and couples therapy.

Every individual is unique and we all respond to our environment in different and unique ways. We all deserve to be heard and within each one of us is the ability to change, transform and evolve. One of the most insightful things I’ve learnt as a mental health practitioner is that we are products of our thoughts, experiences and environment. How we think affects our worldview and determines our success in life. Our thoughts affect our physical and mental health and this may have significant impact on our present and future. We will work together to explore your feelings and how to manage your thoughts and relationships.

Childhood trauma, unhealthy patterns, addiction and trauma can all result in unresolved pain. Being able to explore that pain in a non judgemental, confidential, empathic space can be an essential life changing experience. Many clients come to therapy wanting change and emotional health, awareness of where that pain comes from and the journey to understand its impact on our lives today is a crucial part of healing. Often our trauma is not recognised, believed or simply understood. Yet we're living with the impact of these issues. It takes courage to acknowledge our pain but for those who can it can give us the tools to change.

I help couples and relationship constellations reduce conflict and trauma in order to increase emotional safety, communicate and set boundaries with more clarity and confidence and ensure that everyone's needs are met, understood and honoured. I work at the intersections of difference and welcome marginalised identities whether BIPOC, LGBTQ+ and gender diverse, neurodivergent, non-monogamous and beyond providing a supportive and judgement-free space where you don't need to explain who you are or the wider political context you exist in and where you can access practical tools that make a difference.

Your first counselling session if FREE. We all struggle in life at one point or another, if you are struggling with stress, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, past trauma, eating disorders, panic attacks, loss or grief and addiction, self harm, suicidal thoughts, relationships, race and culture etc. I can help. If things feel too much to manage on our own, counselling with me could help.

I offer psychological therapy to individuals, couples, families, or groups, utilising evidence-based therapeutic approaches to address a wide range of psychological and/or life issues. I strive to create a collaborative and supportive therapeutic relationship that empowers clients to explore their concerns and make positive changes. When working with couples and families, I focus on ensuring that each person’s voice is heard and in addition, they can gain new insights into one another's perspectives and develop a deeper understanding of the underlying dynamics within the relationship/s. This can help to build stronger relationships.

Hi, I’m a relationship and trauma informed therapist. Your life may feel like a ‘hot mess’ at the moment, you may have tried google, read self help books or watched mental health videos. You have realised that nothing is helping. This may feel ‘alien’ to you, perhaps you’re the person that people call ‘strong’, no-one can comprehend that you may be struggling. So imagine, that you are not overthinking, irritable and frustrated with yourself or others. In therapy, you will have time ‘for you’, to learn to manage your symptoms and to ultimately heal. As you continue to heal, you will start to implement changes to make your life better
