About Marcia
Marcia Reid uses a warm, person-centred approach to guide people through difficult moments. She is a BACP counsellor with 14 years of experience and focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, grief and depression. Marcia aims to create a calm space where people can talk and begin to make changes at their own pace.
She draws on attachment-based ideas to help people understand how early relationships shape current patterns. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test small, manageable changes.
Background and approach
Marcia also uses elements of dialectical behaviour therapy to teach emotion regulation and motivation-focused strategies to support change. Marcia works with a wide range of life concerns including parenting strain, family conflict, addiction and recovery, and issues around intimacy and relationships. She also supports people facing trauma, domestic violence, adoption and foster care questions, immigration-related stress and career transitions.
Sessions focus on clear goals and steps you can try between meetings. Her way of working is straightforward and respectful. She listens first, then works with you to tailor a plan that fits your situation.
Marcia values patience, compassion and practical problem solving during the change process. People can expect a mixture of talking, practical exercises and skills practice. Marcia encourages regular feedback so the work stays useful and relevant.
Over time the aim is to build confidence, reduce distress and restore a sense of direction.

Online support
She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small experiments to change them. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and practical day-to-day worries because it gives clear steps to try between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Marcia will talk through your goals and preferences, then adapt methods as you progress so the work stays relevant and achievable.
Online therapy offers flexibility and a range of ways to connect. Video calls are helpful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions suit those who prefer not to use video, live chat can work for quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and other responsibilities.
