About Marina

Marina Wright is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns. She also supports people working on self-esteem, motivation and life changes. Marina welcomes conversations about issues such as abandonment, attachment and the emotional impact of separation.

Her style is direct and collaborative. She starts by listening to each person's story and looks for existing strengths to build on. Sessions aim to make small, practical shifts that fit into everyday life. Marina uses clear language and keeps the focus on what matters most to the client.

Marina draws on Existential Therapy to look at meaning and choice when people feel stuck. She uses Solution-Focused Therapy to find concrete steps forward and Internal Family Systems to understand the different parts of a person's inner world. These approaches are mixed to suit each person's needs rather than used as fixed rules.

With four years of professional experience, she has worked with people facing midlife change, workplace pressure and family breakdown. She offers support for feelings like guilt, emptiness and dissociation alongside relationship struggles and communication problems.

Marina speaks English and Russian and accepts international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to the therapist's schedule. The service operates through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches that shape online counselling

Existential Therapy helps people face questions about meaning, choice and purpose when life feels confusing or overwhelming. It can support those dealing with anxiety about life stages, commitment or identity by focusing on personal values and the choices available.

Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical changes that bring quick relief. It concentrates on clear goals and on building steps that people can try between sessions to reduce panic, stress or unhelpful patterns.

Internal Family Systems notices the different parts inside us - the anxious, the critical or the protective parts - and helps people relate to them with curiosity. This can be useful for understanding panic, dissociation or feelings of emptiness and for reducing internal conflict.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and may shift the approach as needs change.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, by removing travel and allowing sessions around work or family commitments. Please confirm the exact session formats available before booking, as these are set by the service. The practical aim is to make therapy accessible and usable in everyday life without assuming a single way of working.
