Pedro Magalhães Lino (my pronouns are He/Him)

I am a Person Centred Therapist registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). 

I have extensive experience working with under-represented communities and helping people understanding their behaviours. My counselling journey started a decade ago, not as a qualified counsellor, but as a client. By offering a judgment free space and the opportunity to be vulnerable, my therapist supported me on my journey of self-acceptance. It is on that connection between counsellor and client that I base my work. 

In my humanistic approach to therapy I believe that my clients are the experts of themselves. Together we can focus on the goals they have set and, as the relationship develops, untie the knots that are holding them back from reaching their objectives. In my personal experience as a therapist, relationship is key for change. Although I welcome clients from all backgrounds, helping them on their journey of self discovery, 

I have extensively worked with the LGBTQ+ and migrant communities both as an activist and as a counsellor. 

P.S. I am also able to speak Portuguese.
