About Madalina

Madalina Trusca helps people with relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, anxiety, low self-esteem and career concerns using talking therapies and coaching. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 11 years of client work experience.

Madalina trained initially in psychology and went on to study a range of approaches. She has used Transactional Analysis for many years and finds its focus on past experience and life patterns useful for making sense of recurring problems. She also works with ideas from psycho-genealogy, which looks at how family messages pass between generations and affect present behaviour.

Her work combines psychotherapeutic and coaching elements. Sessions involve talking through recent difficulties, noticing repeating patterns and testing different ways of relating or coping. She uses direct discussion about relationships, attachment, identity and family history to help people make practical changes.

Madalina has worked in private practice and with organisations since 2011. That background means she is used to supporting people with workplace stress, compassion fatigue and career-related decisions as well as personal issues like bereavement and separation. She also addresses intimacy-related concerns and sexual orientation questions.

Sessions are offered in English and Romanian. Her approach aims to help people understand how past experiences shape current reactions, and then to try alternative responses in everyday life.

How her approaches work in online counselling

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions. It is useful for intimacy-related issues, communication problems and attachment difficulties.

Existential Therapy focuses on meaning, choice and responsibility. It helps people facing life changes, career doubts, grief and questions about purpose or values.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, listen to what matters to the client and agree together which methods to try first. That collaborative process may lead to mixing approaches over time to suit the person’s needs.

Confirm the exact session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and avoid travel time. It also lets people keep continuity of sessions when locations change, while the counsellor and client review what works best for frequency and length of sessions.
