Gideon Reeve welcomes people who are feeling stuck, anxious, low or unsure about their next steps. He speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps into therapy easier. Gideon draws on a practical, person-focused style so people can talk through what matters most to them.

He uses a mix of approaches to suit each person's needs. Client-Centred Therapy helps people tell their story and rebuild self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT focuses on the patterns that keep problems going and works on realistic, step-by-step changes.

Background and approach

Somatic techniques bring attention to the body through breathing and grounding when stress feels physical. Gideon also explores how past experiences shape present life through psychodynamic ideas. That can help when people notice repeating patterns or feel confused about relationships.

He blends talking therapy with his earlier bodywork experience so sessions may include gentle attention to bodily sensations. He has worked with talking therapy clients for many years and has spent the last four years integrating bodywork and counselling.

Gideon holds a CPCAB level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and is a BACP member, which means he follows their professional code of ethics. Sessions are offered in English and he is based in the United Kingdom. His style is collaborative and practical, aiming to help people build stronger coping skills and clearer ways forward.

How Gideon's approaches work online

Gideon commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in online sessions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on building a supportive relationship where people can tell their story and feel heard, helping with self-esteem and clarity. CBT looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and uses practical steps to change them, which is useful for anxiety, depression and stress.

He also draws on somatic ideas to notice body sensations and use breathing or grounding techniques when stress feels physical. You and the therapist will decide together which methods to try. Finding the right mix is a collaborative process that will be reviewed as goals and needs become clearer.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different needs. Video calls allow deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is lower, and messaging or live chat suit brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel schedules, and to choose the style of contact that feels most comfortable.
