Pedro Magalhães Lino
Therapist who listens with curiosity
About Pedro
Pedro Magalhães Lino is a counsellor with seven years of practice based in the United Kingdom. He works from the view that therapy is first and foremost a relationship. He invites people to talk openly while he listens with curiosity and without judgement.
Pedro sees therapy as a place to notice patterns that repeat in daily life. He explains how past experiences can keep shaping how people feel and relate now.
Background and approach
In sessions he helps clients bring those unseen influences into awareness so they can be considered and understood. His style is collaborative rather than directive. He does not offer quick answers.
Instead he thinks alongside the person, looking at life events, relationships and what happens between therapist and client in the room. People come to him for help with anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, mood difficulties and trauma. He also supports those facing identity questions, grief, relationship or intimacy problems, and challenges linked to addiction, work and life transitions.
Pedro draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy in sessions. That combination lets him focus on emotional experience, personal history and the immediate relationship in the room. Sessions are conversational and paced to each person’s needs.
He speaks English and Portuguese and works within the United Kingdom. If you are thinking of starting, check the booking steps and make sure the session options suit your situation before you schedule.

How these approaches guide online conversations
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience. The therapist provides empathic listening, reflects what is said, and follows the client's pace so people feel heard and understood. This approach can help when someone wants support with self-esteem, identity or emotional overwhelm.Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to personal history and recurring patterns. It looks at how past experiences shape present feelings and relationships, and at what happens in the therapeutic relationship itself. This can be useful for understanding long-standing patterns, attachment or issues rooted in earlier experiences.
Finding the right way of working is part of therapy. Pedro will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and help decide which approach or mix of approaches suits you best. The choice is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
For practical arrangements, please confirm the session formats offered before booking as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins from different places when that suits your schedule. Different formats can also mean shorter or longer sessions depending on what you need, so discuss timing and practicalities when you book.
