About Marcia
Counsellor (BACP), England. 14 years' experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting and addictions. Marcia Reid works using attachment-based, client-centred, cognitive behavioural and DBT-informed approaches alongside motivational interviewing.
Marcia focuses on practical work in sessions. She listens to current problems and looks at how past relationships and attachment patterns still affect daily life. Sessions often include identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of responding to strong emotions.
She has experience with domestic violence, reproductive trauma, adoption and foster care concerns, and family-of-origin issues. Marcia also addresses grief, intimacy-related difficulties, sleeping problems, anger and issues around substance use. She works with people facing immigration stress, caregiver strain and challenges around fatherhood and blended families.
Her style is client-centred: the person sets the pace and the topics. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) strategies may be used to change thinking patterns, while Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills can help manage intense emotions. Motivational Interviewing is brought in when people want to change behaviours such as substance use.
Marcia accepts international clients and runs sessions in English. Costs vary by location and sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How attachment and CBT approaches shape online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns. Online work with this approach can involve discussing relationship histories and noticing how those patterns appear in daily life.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's priorities and pace. In remote sessions this means the counsellor follows what the client brings and adapts the session to their immediate concerns.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) identifies thoughts that maintain distress and practises alternative responses. Online sessions can include short exercises, homework and step-by-step behavioural experiments between meetings.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The counsellor and client decide together which methods to try based on current problems, goals and personal preferences. This collaborative work helps shape what happens in sessions and how progress is checked.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people find remote counselling easier to fit into busy schedules, allows shorter check-ins when needed, and can reduce travel time. Practical arrangements such as session length, timing and any between-session work are agreed at the first appointment.
