About Madalina Trusca
Madalina Trusca brings a thoughtful, experience-informed approach to psychotherapy and coaching, drawing on formal training in psychology and a wide range of therapeutic modalities. She holds a BA in Psychology and has trained in methods such as Existential Psychotherapy, Integrative Psychotherapy, Psychodrama, Hypnosis, and Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, with Transactional Analysis becoming a central influence after beginning training in 2002. Her interest in how family patterns shape present life led her to integrate psycho-genealogy alongside Transactional Analysis, exploring how messages pass through generations and influence current relationships and behavior.
Since beginning direct client work in 2011, she has supported individuals, couples, and groups across private practice and corporate settings. Her practice addresses issues including grief and bereavement, relationship and family difficulties, anxiety and panic, depression, stress and anger management, trauma and abuse, sexual orientation and intimacy-related concerns, low self-esteem and self-harm, addictions, and career or life-change challenges. She also works with topics such as attachment and abandonment, adoption and foster care, codependency, blended family dynamics, and caregiver stress.
She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the main professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK, and of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD). Madalina provides therapy in English and Romanian and combines psychotherapy and coaching skills to help people navigate complex emotional and relational challenges.

Adapting therapeutic approaches for online relationship and trauma work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape emotional patterns and present-day bonds. It helps clients understand attachment styles, build more secure connections, and address issues like abandonment, intimacy difficulties, and family conflict.Existential Therapy explores questions of meaning, choice, and responsibility when people face life transitions, grief, or feelings of emptiness. It supports clients in clarifying values and finding ways to live more authentically amid uncertainty.
Imago Relationship Therapy concentrates on the dynamics between partners, helping couples identify unconscious patterns that create conflict and learn new ways to communicate and reconnect. It is often suited to those working on commitment issues, communication problems, or rebuilding trust.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Madalina works collaboratively with clients and registered professionals to identify which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as therapy progresses.
Online sessions - via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - make it easier to access ongoing support from home or on the go. These options increase flexibility for scheduling, allow continuity during busy or changing circumstances, and enable people to work with a therapist who matches their needs regardless of location.
