If there is a lot of growth and the tree is apparently doing fine, why do you think it needs to be repotted?

Although the tree is healthy the por I bought it in is a plastic one which doesn't compliment the tree, however I have taken the point that the tree is more important than the pot.
Any advise on pinching or pruning would be helpful.

The tree does seem to be in very good health. It certainly would look better in a different pot.

I think you can prune the long shoots, but I'm not going to give advise when there is better information available than what I can give you.
Have a look here:
