About Pedro
Pedro Magalhães Lino is a BACP therapist practising in the United Kingdom with seven years of clinical experience. He works with people who bring concerns such as anxiety, stress, relationship problems and questions about identity. Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese and aim to be a clear, conversational place to talk things through.
Pedro believes therapy is primarily a relationship. He listens with curiosity and without judgement, and works alongside clients rather than handing down answers. That means sessions often involve reflecting on how someone feels, how they relate to others, and what keeps certain patterns going.
He explains that many difficulties come from past experiences that still shape current life. When those influences are noticed and named, people can begin to understand repeated reactions. Pedro uses this focus to support work on issues like self-esteem, intimacy concerns, grief and coping with life changes.
His practice also addresses a range of specific areas including trauma and abuse, addiction, bipolar, ADHD and LGBT concerns. He pays attention to how identity, culture and family history affect everyday struggles such as isolation, communication problems and body image.
Sessions are practical and conversational. Pedro and the client explore what has been happening, try out different ways of understanding it, and decide together what to focus on next. If someone wants to begin, they are invited to use the site process to match and book a first appointment.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Pedro uses Client-Centred Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy as the main frameworks in his work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting what you say and helping you feel heard; it is useful when people want straightforward support for anxiety, self-esteem or relationship concerns. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past experiences shape current feelings and patterns, which can help when worries repeat or when identity and attachment issues are prominent.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Pedro will work with the client to identify which way of working feels most helpful based on their needs, goals and preferences. That means sessions can shift over time as the priorities become clearer and new topics emerge.
Confirm current session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, for example by avoiding travel, allowing a shorter check-in during a lunch break, or offering a phone option when less bandwidth is needed. Registered or accredited professionals commonly use different formats to suit practical needs, and Pedro will discuss which arrangement best supports the client's goals.
