Pedro Magalhães Lino brings seven years of counselling experience to his practice in the United Kingdom. He works from the view that therapy is first and foremost a relationship. Pedro aims to create a space where people can speak honestly and be listened to with curiosity and without judgement.

He believes past experiences often shape present feelings and relationships. These influences can show up as repeating patterns that are hard to shift alone.

Background and approach

In sessions he helps people notice those patterns and make sense of them at a manageable pace. Pedro uses a collaborative way of working rather than handing out fixed answers. He reflects on what emerges in conversation and on the relationship between counsellor and client.

This helps uncover thoughts and feelings that may have been difficult to name. People come to him for many reasons, including stress, anxiety, depression, challenges with identity or intimacy, and problems around sleep or eating. He also supports those dealing with trauma, addiction, grief, career questions, and issues linked to culture or migration.

Pedro works with two main approaches: client-centred therapy and psychodynamic therapy. These guide how he listens and how he thinks about patterns in a person’s life. Sessions are conducted in English and Portuguese, and he practises as a BACP Therapist - Registered Member MBACP.

How his approaches translate to online counselling

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's experience in the here and now. The counsellor offers empathy and non-judgemental attention so people can find their own answers. This approach suits issues where a person needs to feel heard and understood, such as identity concerns, low self-esteem or relationship worries.

Psychodynamic therapy looks at patterns that repeat across relationships and over time. It helps people connect current difficulties with past experiences and unconscious feelings. This approach can be helpful for issues like attachment problems, recurring conflicts, or when someone wants deeper self-understanding.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Pedro will discuss what feels most useful based on your needs, goals and preferences. He treats the choice of method as a shared decision and will adjust how he works as understanding grows.

If you are considering online therapy, please confirm which session formats are offered before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins between meetings. Some formats may be better for brief emotional check-ins while others suit longer reflective work, so confirm the options to match what you need.
