About Madalina

Madalina Trusca is a counsellor who helps people facing relationship difficulties, anxiety, grief and the stress of life changes. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, career concerns and compassion fatigue. Her work includes issues around intimacy, family dynamics and LGBT matters. Madalina speaks English and Romanian and practices in the United Kingdom.

She began client work in 2011 and has over 11 years of practice in both psychotherapy and coaching. Her background includes a BA in Psychology and training across several approaches such as Existential Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP.

Madalina favours looking at how past patterns shape present behaviour. She often uses attachment-based ideas and internal family systems thinking to help people understand recurring relationship patterns. Sessions involve exploring personal history, noticing repeated reactions, and trying alternative ways of responding.

When working on relationship issues she may use Imago relationship ideas to highlight interactional cycles and communication habits. For grief, trauma or major life transitions she draws on psychodynamic perspectives to attend to deeper emotional material while keeping focus on current coping.

Her style combines direct, practical conversation with reflective listening. People can expect clear questions, space to tell their story and collaborative planning for change. To start a course of work clients follow the site’s sign-up flow and schedule according to Madalina’s availability.

How these approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connections. It helps people understand why they react strongly in close relationships and supports building steadier ways of relating.

Existential Therapy focuses on meaning, choice and facing life’s big questions. It can help when people feel stuck, overwhelmed by change, or unsure about their direction in life.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals and preferences and decide together which methods to emphasise. This collaborative process allows adjustments over time as the work unfolds.

The profile does not list which online session formats are offered, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow longer sessions when needed. It can also make shorter check-ins possible during a lunch break or quieter moments. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques used in person for remote conversations, helping people address relationship patterns, grief and anxiety in ways that suit daily life.
