About Madalina

Madalina Trusca is a counsellor with 11 years' experience who helps people facing midlife questions, relationship strain, loss, anxiety and changes in career or identity. She speaks English and Romanian and works with issues such as trauma, grief, self-esteem, stress and depression. Her approach is conversational and direct, aimed at helping people make sense of difficult moments and move forward in practical ways.

She trained in psychology and began practising in 2011, offering both psychotherapy and coaching in private and corporate settings. Over the years she has explored a range of approaches and keeps the focus on what helps each person most. Sessions typically involve looking at patterns from the past and how they affect current choices, then trying out new ways of relating and coping.

Madalina uses ideas from attachment-based work to look at how relationships shape feelings and behaviour. She also draws on psychodynamic thinking to bring attention to repeating patterns that can block progress. Internal Family Systems ideas may be used to help people understand different parts of themselves and how those parts interact.

Her practice covers a wide set of concerns, including LGBT matters, intimacy issues, abandonment or family-of-origin difficulties, communication problems and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care histories, caregiver stress, divorce and blended-family challenges.

Madalina is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions follow a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Prospective clients choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to therapist availability.

How different approaches shape online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current bonds. It looks at emotional patterns that emerge in close relationships and helps people understand and change those patterns, which can be useful for intimacy or trust issues.

Existential Therapy encourages people to face big life questions and to find personal meaning. It helps when midlife change, career shifts or questions about identity make someone feel stuck or uncertain.

Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to recurring themes and habits that come from past experiences. It supports people who want to understand why they repeat certain behaviours and how to alter them for better outcomes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will explore goals, preferences and what feels helpful, and will suggest ways of working together. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.

The biography does not list specific online session formats. Confirm the available options before booking so you know how sessions will be arranged. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue therapy from different locations within the same country while working with registered or accredited professionals.
