About Madalina

Madalina Trusca is a counsellor who helps people facing relationship friction, anxiety, depression, grief and issues around identity and intimacy. She also supports people coping with stress, low self-esteem, anger and the particular challenges that come with adoption and foster care. Sessions are offered in English and Romanian and she works from the United Kingdom.

Madalina trained in psychology and began seeing clients in 2011. Over eleven years she has combined one-to-one psychotherapy and coaching in private and organisational settings. She draws on ideas that make past patterns easier to understand, and on methods that look at how family messages travel down generations.

In practice she uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current bonds, and Psychodynamic thinking to notice repeating themes from a person’s history. She also uses Imago Relationship Therapy techniques to address communication problems between partners and Internal Family Systems to help people voice different parts of themselves.

Work in sessions is straightforward. Madalina helps clients name the problem, spot repeating patterns, and try different ways of responding. She blends talking, reflection and practical coaching tasks when helpful. The aim is to give people clearer choices and calmer ways to handle difficult moments.

Her professional membership is with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That is recorded as BACP in her credentials and reflects her ongoing engagement with counsellor practice and standards.

How these approaches can work online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships. Online discussion can help people name attachment patterns and practise different ways of relating. Psychodynamic Therapy focuses on recurring feelings and themes from past experience and uses the talking process to make those patterns clearer and more manageable. Imago Relationship Therapy teaches specific communication moves that can be practised in conversations to reduce blame and increase understanding. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. This often means combining ideas from different approaches and adapting them as you go. Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not specify formats here. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit around work and family life, reduce travel time and make it easier to keep regular appointments. It also allows practical exercises and real-time reflection within the routines of everyday life, while sessions can be adapted in length or focus to match your needs.
