About Madalina

Madalina Trusca is a counsellor who helps people facing relationship struggles, codependency, grief, trauma and anxiety. She speaks English and Romanian and works from the United Kingdom. Madalina uses practical conversation and reflective listening to help people name patterns and make changes that feel manageable.

She trained in psychology and began working with clients in 2011, combining psychotherapy and coaching in private and workplace settings. Over the years she has explored a range of methods and keeps a focus on how past family messages shape present behaviour. This helps when people want to understand recurring relationship patterns or feelings of abandonment.

Madalina draws on approaches that look at attachment, inner parts, and relational dynamics. She uses clear explanations and simple exercises so people can try new ways of relating between sessions. Sessions aim to balance understanding with steps people can take in daily life.

Her practice covers a wide set of concerns including stress, depression, career questions, intimacy issues, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people working through adoption or foster care histories, blended family challenges, and family of origin issues. Madalina is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

People who choose her often want a calm, thoughtful space to talk things through and to find realistic changes. The approach is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. To begin, use the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule according to therapist availability.

How attachment and relational approaches work online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds affect current relationships. It helps people spot recurring patterns of closeness and distance and try new ways of relating. Internal Family Systems looks at the different parts inside a person - the protective parts and the wounded parts - and supports dialogue between them to reduce inner conflict and self-criticism.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The counsellor will talk with the person about their goals and preferences and together decide which methods to use. That process is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.

Confirm the specific session options before booking because the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or sessions without video if that better suits someone’s practical needs. Registered or accredited professionals use these approaches to help clients fit healing work into everyday life.
