About Gideon
Gideon Reeve offers calm, straightforward support for people facing difficult times. He meets people where they are and helps them talk through anxiety, low mood, stress, addiction and life changes. Gideon writes plainly and listens closely so conversations stay focused and useful.
He uses an integrative style that draws on several approaches. Sessions often begin by exploring what matters most to the client. From there he may introduce practical steps to manage unhelpful thinking, or suggest grounding and breathing exercises to reduce bodily tension.
How Gideon works
He adapts the pace to the person in front of him. Gideon trained in therapeutic counselling and holds a CPCAB Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. He is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which guides his professional practice.
Before offering talking therapy he worked in bodywork for many years and combines that experience with counselling. Some sessions include psychodynamic reflection to look at how past experience affects present patterns. Others focus on problem solving with techniques drawn from cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness.
He can also offer somatic work such as simple sensing and grounding exercises alongside talking. Gideon aims to tailor therapy to each person. He brings practical tools and reflective space so people can build greater self-understanding, manage symptoms, and make changes that fit their life.

How Gideon's approaches translate to online therapy
Gideon commonly blends client-centred work with cognitive behavioural therapy and somatic techniques. Client-centred therapy focuses on a supportive, non-judgemental relationship and helps people talk through their story and feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and offers practical steps to reduce anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits. Somatic techniques involve simple grounding, sensing and breathing exercises to relieve bodily tension and help regulate emotions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Gideon will discuss goals, try out methods and adjust the mix so sessions fit the client's needs and preferences. He aims to balance reflective exploration with practical tools that can be used between meetings.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat suits shorter check-ins or people who prefer typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel, and offer flexibility in how people choose to engage with the therapeutic process.
