About Pedro
Pedro Magalhães Lino is a counsellor with seven years' experience who focuses on helping people understand what shapes their feelings and relationships. He believes therapy is primarily a relationship where speaking honestly to a curious, non-judgemental listener can reveal things that have been hard to name. Pedro uses a collaborative style and works with people on a broad range of concerns, including codependency, anxiety, stress and identity issues.
Pedro explains that past experiences often continue to influence how people act today. These influences can show up as repeating patterns that are frustrating to change. In sessions he helps people slowly bring those patterns into awareness so they can be thought about and made sense of.
His way of working invites clients to explore their experiences and relationships together. He does not offer quick answers but reflects and thinks alongside the person in the room. This includes noticing what happens between counsellor and client as part of the work.
People come to him with many worries, from grief and addiction to intimacy and body image concerns. He also supports those facing multicultural and immigration-related stresses, gender dysphoria, and HIV / AIDS related issues. Sessions aim to make difficult feelings clearer and more manageable over time.
Pedro speaks English and Portuguese and practises in the United Kingdom as a BACP Therapist - Registered Member MBACP. If someone wants a steady, thoughtful approach that looks at both present struggles and their origins, his work offers that kind of space.
How his approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy places focus on the person's experience in the moment. It involves attentive listening, reflecting feelings and helping people feel heard so they can explore what matters most. This approach can help with anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship concerns and codependency patterns.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past experiences shape present behaviour and relationships. It pays attention to repeating patterns and to what might be happening in the relationship with the counsellor. This can be useful for people dealing with trauma, attachment issues and longstanding emotional patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Pedro will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and will help decide what combination of approaches fits best. That decision is made together and can change as the work progresses.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the available session formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work, family and travel. It can allow for shorter check-ins when days are busy or for sessions without video when bandwidth is limited. Registered or accredited professionals can work effectively over distance, and Pedro will discuss how to structure sessions so they suit everyday life and the issues you bring.
