Gideon Reeve, BACP

Gideon Reeve offers straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed, stuck or low. He writes in a clear, calm way and invites a first conversation to see if therapy would help. Gideon aims to make the first steps feel manageable and non-judgemental for anyone unsure what to expect.

Gideon works as an integrative therapeutic counsellor. He uses a mix of approaches shaped by what each person needs. Sessions may include person-centred listening to help you make sense of your story and rebuild confidence. He also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past patterns affect today, and cognitive behavioural techniques when practical problem solving is useful.

Physical grounding and breath work are part of his practice, reflecting a somatic influence that links body and emotion. He trained in yoga and has experience combining movement-based approaches with talking work. That background can be useful when stress shows up in the body or sleep and physical tension are problems.

Gideon has worked in body-based practice for many years and began offering talking therapy twenty four years ago. Over the last four years he has blended these strands into an integrated approach. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, abbreviated as BACP.

Sessions are tailored to each person's goals and pace. Gideon aims to help people untangle emotional patterns, manage anxiety or depression, and find ways to cope with life changes. He invites prospective clients to take a first step and discuss what they need before committing to therapy.

How Gideon’s approaches work online

Gideon uses client-centred therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy as core elements of his work. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and building an accepting relationship so people can tell their story and find their own solutions. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical steps to change unhelpful patterns.

He also draws on mindfulness and somatic ideas to bring attention to the body and breath. Mindfulness helps people notice automatic reactions with less judgement, which can ease anxiety and sleep problems. Somatic techniques use grounding and breathing exercises to reduce physical tension and help manage stress.

Deciding which approach to use is a joint process. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and what feels helpful, then try methods that fit the person. Gideon tailors the mix over time rather than sticking to one method from the start.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break. It also supports continuity when moving or travelling, provided you and the therapist agree a convenient arrangement.
