About Marina
Marina Wright is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns. She also supports those working on self-esteem and people wanting coaching around life changes and motivation. Marina speaks English and Russian and accepts international clients.
She encourages clients to tell their story in their own words and treats them as the expert on their life. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals. Marina aims to make the first steps less daunting and to build on a person’s existing strengths.
Her practice draws on Existential Therapy, which covers questions about meaning and direction, and Solution-Focused Therapy, which looks for small, workable changes to try right away. She also uses Internal Family Systems ideas to help people notice and work with different parts of themselves. These approaches are used to address issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency, communication and commitment problems.
Marina has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She has worked with people dealing with divorce and separation, dissociation, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, control and dependent personality issues, and challenges linked to immigration. Her style is hopeful and grounded in practical steps.
To begin, Marina asks people to reflect on what they want to change and to choose small, achievable actions. She supports clients through midlife shifts, work and personal transitions, and the everyday pressures that affect relationships and self-worth.
How Marina's approaches translate to online therapy
Existential Therapy helps people look at life direction, meaning and the choices they face. It can be useful when someone feels stuck during major life changes or questions their purpose. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and on what people want to achieve next, which can lead to quickly noticeable changes. Internal Family Systems offers a way to notice different parts of a person - for example the anxious part and the protective part - and to work with them to ease inner conflict.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences and day-to-day needs, and then suggest methods to try. Together they review what helps and can adjust the approach as therapy continues to find the best fit.
If you are considering online sessions, check the available session options before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins around work breaks, or letting someone use audio rather than video when that suits them better. Many people find these practical benefits helpful when managing stress, relationships and life transitions.
