About Pedro
Pedro Magalhães Lino is a counsellor who places the therapeutic relationship at the centre of his work. He believes talking with someone who listens without judgement helps people make sense of feelings that have been hard to name. He draws on seven years of practice and brings a calm, thoughtful presence to sessions.
Pedro helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties and changes in their lives. He also supports those facing issues around identity, relationships, addictions, grief and self-esteem. His approach is conversational and responsive rather than directive, so clients take an active role in shaping the work.
In sessions he pays attention to how past experiences may be shaping current patterns. That can mean looking at repeated relationship dynamics, attachment concerns or how shame and guilt affect daily life. He frames these observations as joint discoveries rather than fixed diagnoses.
Pedro uses Client-Centred Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy to guide the process. He will listen closely, reflect what he hears and offer thoughts to help people notice repeating themes. The pace is negotiated with each person so it feels manageable.
Pedro is a BACP Therapist - Registered Member MBACP based in the United Kingdom. He speaks English and Portuguese and works in a collaborative way that aims to help people understand themselves more clearly and make practical changes where needed.
How Pedro’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy emphasises an accepting, non-judgemental listening stance. The counsellor follows the person’s lead, reflects what they say and helps them find their own solutions; this can help with stress, sleep problems and self-esteem issues. Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to how past relationships shape current feelings and patterns, which can reveal repeating dynamics that affect mood, intimacy and coping.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Pedro will discuss the aims and try different ways of working with each person. He treats the choice of method as a collaborative decision based on a person’s needs, goals and preferences.
Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know how meetings will take place. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy life, for example by saving travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break. Others prefer in-person meetings for longer, reflective sessions; Pedro can help weigh what will work best for practical routines and the issues you want to address.
