About Marcia
Marcia Reid is a counsellor with 14 years of clinical experience supporting people through anxiety, stress and relationship concerns. She works with people facing grief, trauma and addiction and helps them find practical ways to cope. Marcia writes plans with each person so sessions focus on what matters most to them.
Her approach is patient and respectful. She aims to listen closely and respond with compassion and curiosity. Sessions are tailored to the individual's needs rather than a one-size-fits-all programme.
Background and approach
Marcia draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current patterns. She also uses cognitive behavioural strategies to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours. Motivational interviewing informs how she supports people who want to change habits such as substance use.
Over her career she has worked with a wide range of concerns linked to family life, parenting and adoption, as well as intimacy and sexual issues. She also supports people coping with major life changes, career questions and feelings of isolation. Sessions are offered in English and can take place by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.
Marcia describes herself as encouraging and empowering, and she aims to help people take manageable steps towards a more satisfying life.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Marcia draws on attachment-based work to look at how early relationship patterns affect current feelings and behaviour. This approach helps when people feel stuck in repeated relationship patterns or struggle with trust and closeness.She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavioural changes. CBT is often useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems because it focuses on practical steps and experiments.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t worked before, then try methods together and adjust as needed. Clients help shape the plan and the pace of change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make counselling flexible. Video offers a face-to-face style conversation, phone can be easier if bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, childcare or travel and keep momentum between appointments.
