About me
Hola and welcome!
I’m Pedro (he/him), a BACP-registered counsellor offering diversity-aware counselling in English and Spanish, online across the UK and in person in London Bridge (SE1) and Greenwich (SE10).
My work is LGBTQIA+ affirming, ADHD/neurodivergence-aware and trauma-informed, with a particular focus on identity, shame, relationships, anxiety, depression, self-worth and the impact of not feeling fully safe to be yourself.
I have experience supporting adults with trauma, grief, emotional overwhelm, low self-worth, relationship difficulties, identity questions, ADHD, anxiety and depression.
A lot of my work explores the emotional cost of adapting, hiding, masking, people-pleasing, staying strong, or feeling that you have to perform a version of yourself to be accepted. This might connect with being LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, from a migrant or multicultural background, a man who has not had much space for vulnerability, or someone who has learned to survive by staying quiet, useful, pleasing or in control.
I may be a good fit for you if…
(You might recognise yourself in just one or two of these. That can be enough to start a conversation.)
- You’re looking for support with anxiety, depression, stress, or emotional overwhelm and want to feel calmer and more grounded.
- You are LGBTQIA+ and want an affirming space where you don’t have to explain, defend, or shrink yourself.
- You are ADHD or neurodivergent and feel like your mind swings between "200 tabs open" and complete shutdown, and you want someone who understands that.
- You’re living with low mood, grief, or sadness that affects your confidence or relationships.
- You’re exploring self-worth, boundaries, family dynamics, or cultural identity and want to feel steadier and more connected.
- You’re a creative person who’s tired of burnout, self-doubt, or perfectionism getting in the way of your ideas, energy, or expression.
I currently have some availability for new clients, and you’re very welcome to get in touch to check options or ask questions, even if you’re unsure or just exploring.
What therapy with me can feel like:
I believe therapy should feel human, honest, and real. A space where you feel met with warmth, respect, and care, not judgement or distance.
While I work gently and at your pace, I am also an active presence in the room. I may offer reflections, ask questions, share observations, and gently challenge patterns when it feels helpful. For me, therapy is a collaborative process where we think together about what is happening for you.
At the same time, I will not rush you or push you somewhere you are not ready to go. We work together, at a pace that feels manageable, making space for honesty, reflection, and whatever feels important to you.
What may begin to change when you start therapy:
A big part of my work is helping you make sense of those feelings that are hard to name, the patterns that keep repeating, and the choices that don’t quite feel like yours yet.
Over time, therapy can help you feel more connected to yourself and clearer about what you need. You may begin to understand your emotions differently, notice old patterns with more compassion, or feel more able to make choices that reflect who you are now.
Change does not usually happen all at once. Often it begins in quieter ways: feeling less alone with things, having more words for what is going on, or finding a little more room to breathe.
Training, qualifications & experience
- What I Bring to Our Work Together
I’m a BACP-registered, person-centred counsellor with more than 1000 hours of counselling experience supporting people from diverse backgrounds.
I have solid experience supporting people through trauma, domestic and sexual abuse, anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, and romantic breakups. I also work with limerence, people-pleasing, decision paralysis, shame, identity questions, low self-worth and feeling emotionally overwhelmed. My approach is LGBTQIA+ affirming and neurodivergence-aware.
Outside of private practice, I also work with:
- NHS clients, through IAPT services
- Survivors of domestic and sexual violence
- Migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers
These experiences have deepened my understanding of trauma, resilience, and the courage it takes to keep going when the world doesn’t always make space for who you are.
I’m also part of the Creative Counsellors network, and as a writer with a background in Fine Arts, creativity naturally flows into therapy with me. It’s less about making art and more about finding your voice, seeing from new angles, and opening doors to hidden rooms within yourself.
Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

It’s completely okay if you’re unsure or just thinking things through, there’s no pressure to commit. You don’t need to be sure, ready, or have the right words. Reaching out can simply be a way of exploring what you need.
