About Pedro
Pedro Magalhães Lino is a BACP therapist working in the United Kingdom with seven years of practice. He focuses on everyday problems people bring to therapy, such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strain, grief and anger. Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese and aim to help people understand what is behind their feelings.
Pedro describes therapy as a relationship where honest conversation matters. He listens with curiosity and without judgement. He walks alongside clients rather than handing out ready-made answers.
He pays attention to how past experiences shape current patterns. When events from earlier life keep repeating, Pedro helps people notice those patterns and make sense of them. That work often covers attachment, abandonment and family of origin issues.
His practice also covers identity and culture-related concerns, including LGBT issues and gender dysphoria, as well as difficulties such as addiction, eating and sleeping problems, and career stress. He can help people cope with life changes, grief and compassion fatigue.
Pedro uses a collaborative style that brings what is happening between client and counsellor into the conversation. He encourages exploration of intimacy-related problems, communication difficulties and commitment worries, and he supports people dealing with guilt, shame or isolation.
People who want a reflective, dialogue-based approach tend to find his way of working useful. He asks questions, listens closely and helps clients think through choices and next steps in practical terms.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It values listening, acceptance and helping people speak freely about their experience. This approach can be useful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship worries and anger that comes from feeling misunderstood.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past experiences shape present patterns. It pays attention to repeated behaviours, attachment and the feelings that reappear in relationships. This approach can help when problems feel stuck or keep happening despite attempts to change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Pedro treats the choice of method as collaborative. He will discuss goals and preferences and adjust the way he works depending on what each person needs.
