About Madalina
Madalina Trusca is a counsellor focused on anxiety, stress and relationship concerns. She helps people who are struggling with panic, low self-esteem, grief and changes that feel overwhelming. Sessions are offered in English and Romanian and are shaped to each person’s needs.
Madalina has worked with clients since 2011 across independent practice and corporate settings. She holds a BA in Psychology and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Background and approach
Over eleven years she has supported people through bereavement, relationship breakdown, workplace strain and trauma-related difficulties. Her style is practical and conversational. She talks things through with gentle curiosity and aims to help people notice patterns that keep them stuck.
Sessions explore feelings, past influences and everyday behaviour so clients can make clearer choices about next steps. Madalina draws on approaches that look at how early relationships shape adult life, how inner parts hold different feelings, and how meaning and choice matter. She also uses ideas from psychodynamic and relational work to understand repeating difficulties.
These methods are used to help with anxiety, intimacy issues, anger and family of origin concerns. Therapy can include short-term coaching-style work or deeper psychotherapeutic exploration, depending on what a person wants. Costs vary with location and the service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions according to therapist availability.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Madalina uses Attachment-Based work to look at how early relationships influence current patterns. This helps people understand why they react strongly in close relationships and how to build more satisfying connections.She also draws on Internal Family Systems, which treats difficult feelings as parts of a person rather than a single problem. This approach helps people notice inner conflicts, soothe critical parts and develop calmer responses to anxiety.
Choosing the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try approaches that fit the person. Sessions can move between coaching-style checks and deeper therapy as needs change.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full conversational session. Phone calls can be a better fit when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions or those who prefer typed communication. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring commitments and travel.
