About Gideon

Gideon Reeve offers practical, straightforward support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. He writes simply and listens closely, helping clients find clearer direction and more stable day-to-day coping. Gideon approaches sessions with warmth and patience to help people feel understood and safe enough to talk about difficult things.

He blends talking therapies with body-aware methods to suit each person’s needs. Sessions often focus on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, noticing how the body holds tension, and developing small, workable changes.

Background and approach

Gideon uses client-centred listening to build a trusting relationship and psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences affect current life. Gideon trained in therapeutic counselling and holds a CPCAB level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

In recent years he has combined earlier bodywork experience with talking therapy to offer an integrated approach. Typical concerns he supports include grief, addictions, relationship strain, parenting stress, sleep problems, and coping with life changes. He also works with patterns such as codependency, attachment and dissociation, and the impact of chronic illness or caregiver stress.

Sessions are tailored to fit what a person needs right now. Gideon aims to be practical and collaborative, helping people build short-term coping skills alongside exploring deeper patterns that shape their feelings and behaviour.

How Gideon blends talking and body-based work online

Gideon commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so people can talk openly about what matters to them. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, respectful space to sort through feelings and decisions.

He also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT to spot unhelpful thoughts and try practical changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems because it breaks issues into thoughts, feelings and actions that can be adjusted.

Finding the right approach is part of the early work together. Gideon will talk through goals, try different techniques, and adjust the mix of methods based on how a person responds. This is a collaborative process where the client’s preferences shape what happens in sessions.

Online sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone conversations, live chat or ongoing text-based messaging. Video lets people use body-based grounding and breathing work; phone calls need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break; live chat or messaging suits brief check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
