About Gideon
Gideon Reeve offers calm, straightforward support for people facing depression, anxiety, stress and life changes. He writes plainly and listens closely to help people name what feels wrong and take small, practical steps forward. He uses a mix of talking and body-aware methods matched to each person's needs.
Sessions may focus on building confidence, understanding patterns that repeat in relationships, or learning simple breathing and grounding exercises to ease intense feelings.
Background and approach
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, and follows their professional code of ethics. That background underpins his clinical work and how he structures sessions.
Gideon has worked with people in body-focused roles for many years and began offering talking therapy around twenty-four years ago. Over the last four years he has combined those areas to offer an integrated approach that includes mindfulness and movement-based techniques.
In practice he aims to create a steady, non-judgemental space where people can talk about grief, addiction, relationship difficulties, parenting strain, chronic health issues and other concerns. He adapts tools from client-centred work, cognitive behavioural methods and psychodynamic thinking to suit the person in front of him.
Sessions are tailored to what a person needs that week, whether that means short practical exercises or deeper discussion about patterns from the past. Gideon supports people who want clearer coping skills, better sleep, or more confidence to make life changes.

Online support
He also uses mindfulness and somatic ideas such as breathing and grounding to help with strong physical reactions. These techniques teach ways to reduce tension through body awareness and short breathing exercises, useful when anxiety or stress feels overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gideon discusses what feels most helpful and adapts methods over time, so the plan evolves with a person's goals and preferences. He aims to be collaborative and to try different techniques until the best fit emerges.
Online therapy offers practical benefits. Video calls let a therapist and client maintain eye contact and work through exercises together, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, written reflection or when someone prefers not to use video. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, travel or family commitments.
