GR Portrait of Gideon Reeve

About Gideon

Gideon Reeve is a counsellor who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression and life changes. He aims to make the first step easier and offers a calm, practical space to talk about what feels overwhelming. Gideon uses simple breathing and body-based approaches alongside talking therapies to help people feel steadier in day-to-day life.

He adapts each session to what the person needs. That can mean exploring recent problems or looking into life history to notice patterns that keep repeating.

Background and approach

He also uses practical exercises to address specific symptoms such as sleep problems, anger or low self-esteem. Gideon draws on a long history of bodywork, and more than two decades of counselling experience, with four years offering an integrated approach that brings these skills together.

He holds a CPCAB Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, known as BACP. People often come for help with grief, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction, parenting strain, chronic illness or career stress. Gideon also offers support around trauma and dissociation, codependency and feelings of emptiness.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to what the person can manage. Practical techniques include somatic grounding, sensing and breathing work alongside client-centred listening, psychodynamic reflection and cognitive behavioural tools. Gideon tailors therapy to each person and works with them to find what helps most in their life.

Bringing somatic and talking approaches to online therapy

Gideon offers somatic therapy alongside client-centred and cognitive behavioural approaches, adapted for online work. Somatic therapy uses simple body awareness, grounding and breathing techniques to help people notice how stress shows up physically and to develop calming skills. Client-centred therapy focuses on a supportive, non-judgemental relationship where the person’s experience guides the pace and direction of sessions. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) uses practical exercises and thought-action links to address specific problems like sleep issues, worry or unhelpful behaviour patterns.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Gideon works collaboratively to decide what will suit the person’s needs and goals, and he adjusts methods over time as things change. This helps ensure therapy is useful and manageable for each individual.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting or health concerns and allow people to use grounding exercises and CBT tools at times that suit them. The range of options supports continued work even when life is busy or travel is difficult.
