About Gideon
Gideon Reeve is a counsellor who aims to help people facing anxiety, stress, depression and similar struggles. He writes in a straightforward way and offers a calm presence while you talk through what feels hard right now. Gideon acknowledges that contacting a therapist can feel daunting and focuses on making that first step easier.
He uses a blend of talking therapy and body-based methods. That mix lets him address thoughts and feelings alongside physical responses like tension or breath holding.
Background and approach
Sessions often include practical breathing and grounding techniques alongside conversational work about patterns and history. Gideon trained in therapeutic counselling and holds a CPCAB Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. He is a BACP member, which means he follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy code of ethics.
His background also includes many years working with bodywork and yoga, and he has training in integrating yoga into cognitive approaches. In practice he adapts the approach to each person. Some people want a solution-focused plan to manage anxious thinking.
Others prefer to look at past events and how they shape current feelings. Gideon balances these paths according to what the client needs. He offers online sessions and communicates in English.
The emphasis is on steady, practical steps that help people manage symptoms, cope with life changes and build more balanced daily routines.
How Gideon blends approaches online
Gideon combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques to tackle anxiety and related concerns. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, building trust and exploring a person's story at their own pace, which helps people feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and introduces practical steps to change them, which can be useful for managing symptoms like worry and low mood.He also uses mindfulness-based ideas to help people notice bodily sensations and breath. Mindfulness exercises are simple practices that teach noticing thoughts and physical reactions without immediately reacting, and they often help with stress, sleep and panic symptoms. Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work together - he will discuss options and tailor the plan to your goals and preferences in a collaborative way.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, whether by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone can be less demanding on bandwidth, and chat or messaging suits quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to access help from different locations.
