About Me
About Maddalena
My name is Maddalena. I’m a certified dating and relationship coach based in London, and I work with women who want to build healthy, grounded and lasting relationships.
My approach is warm, direct and evidence-based.
I combine emotional awareness with practical decision-making frameworks; because understanding yourself is important, but knowing how to choose differently in real life is what creates change, and probably, why you’re here.
At the heart of my method is a deeper process of self-understanding and self-acceptance: recognising your relational patterns, understanding how they were formed, and reconnecting with your values so that the way you relate becomes conscious, aligned and intentional.
My Story
For many years, I believed my relationship struggles were simply bad luck.Wrong timing, wrong people, wrong circumstances.
It took time and honest self-reflection to realise that the common thread in my experiences was not “fate”. It was a pattern.
Working on my self-esteem, attachment dynamics and relationship choices changed my life. Not overnight, and not magically. But steadily and deeply.
I experienced what it means to move from confusion to clarity. From chasing to choosing. From emotional intensity to emotional stability. That personal transformation is what led me to this work.
Living and Loving Abroad
Throughout different phases of my life, I have lived abroad in multiple countries. Navigating relationships while adapting to new cultures, languages and social contexts gave me first-hand insight into how deeply environment shapes relational dynamics. Living internationally can amplify uncertainty.
Timelines are fluid, people come and go, cultural expectations differ… Dating abroad is not harder. It’s different. This lived experience allows me to support women who find themselves navigating love in multicultural or expat contexts with greater awareness and confidence.
Professional Background
Before becoming a coach, I built a career in academic and scientific publishing.
I graduated in Business Administration from Bocconi University in Milan and completed a Master’s degree in Communication. I worked for over ten years as an editor-in-chief in scientific publishing. That background shaped my structured, analytical approach. I value clarity, depth, evidence.
Coaching, for me, is not just intuition alone; it’s combining emotional intelligence with grounded methodology.
Training & Certification
I trained at Mary Baccaglini’s Academy, founded by Italy’s first Love Coach, and I’m certified in the UK with Kate Mansfield’s Love Rewired method.
My work integrates attachment theory, relational psychology and practical dating frameworks.
How I Work
Clients often describe my style as calm, clear and grounding. I won’t judge you, I won’t offer empty reassurance, and, I won’t let you stay stuck in patterns that hurt you.
This work is about creating emotional safety while also building the internal strength needed to choose differently.
Because healthy relationships are not a matter of luck… They are built on awareness, boundaries and alignment.
