Marina Wright

Marina Wright is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family problems, low self-esteem, and life purpose questions such as midlife change and motivation. Her practical focus includes improving confidence and managing the strain of transitions. Marina uses direct conversation and practical techniques rather than abstract theory. She treats clients as the experts in their own lives and helps them notice strengths they already have. Sessions often concentrate on what someone wants to change next and simple steps to try between meetings. Her background includes work with attachment and abandonment concerns, communication problems, and issues around commitment and codependency. She also supports people dealing with divorce or separation, dissociation, guilt, shame and feelings of emptiness. Immigration-related stress and family conflict are other areas she has experience with. Marina draws on Existential Therapy to look at values and meaning, and on Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small, practical shifts. She also uses Internal Family Systems ideas to map different parts of a person’s inner experience when that is helpful. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. The emphasis is on finding clearer thinking and workable steps rather than long lectures. To start, she asks about what matters now and about short-term goals to shape the first sessions.

How Marina connects therapeutic approaches with online work

Existential Therapy focuses on values, meaning and the choices someone makes. It helps when a person is questioning what matters next, feeling empty, or facing major life changes. The work often involves reflecting on priorities and the consequences of different directions.

Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical changes that can be tried quickly. It suits people who want to move from feeling stuck to testing simple steps and noticing what shifts. Internal Family Systems maps different parts of a person’s inner life and helps identify which parts are protective, which are wounded, and how they relate to one another.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Marina will work collaboratively to decide which methods to use, based on the client’s goals, preferences and how they respond in early sessions. That helps keep the work relevant and practical rather than theoretical.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone choose a quieter time for reflection, or avoid being on camera if that feels easier. Registered and accredited professionals arrange the practical details with each client so sessions suit everyday life.
