About Gideon

Gideon Reeve offers calm, practical help for people feeling overwhelmed by parenting pressures, stress, anxiety or low mood. He writes plainly and meets each person where they are, helping them talk through what feels hardest and find ways to cope day to day. His style is warm and exploratory.

Sessions are shaped around what the client needs in that moment, whether that is listening, making sense of patterns, or trying new ways to manage upsetting thoughts and feelings.

Background and approach

Gideon aims to help people build clearer thinking, stronger self-esteem and steadier routines. Gideon combines talking therapy with body-based techniques developed over many years of hands-on practice. He uses person-centred work to develop a supportive relationship, psychodynamic ideas to look at how the past affects the present, and practical cognitive behavioural tools to change unhelpful habits.

He also draws on somatic exercises such as grounding and breath work when the body holds tension or anxiety. He has four years’ experience offering integrated therapy and has previously worked in bodywork for many years. Gideon holds a CPCAB Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Sessions can focus on a range of concerns including parenting stress, relationship strain, addiction, grief, trauma, sleep problems and career worries. He accepts clients in the United Kingdom and international clients and works in English. Gideon adapts the pace and approach to suit each person’s goals and circumstances.

To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

Online support

Approaches that suit online sessions and parenting stress

Gideon commonly draws on client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy in online sessions. Client-centred work focuses on building a supportive relationship and helping a person tell their story in their own words, which can be especially helpful for parents who need a calm space to reflect. Cognitive behavioural therapy examines the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical steps to change unhelpful patterns, useful for anxiety, sleep problems and day-to-day stress.

He also integrates somatic techniques when body tension or strong emotions are present. Somatic work uses simple grounding, sensing and breathing practices to reduce bodily arousal and help people feel more regulated in the moment. Deciding which approach to use is a shared process - the therapist works collaboratively with each person to test methods and agree what feels most helpful for their goals and preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, giving flexibility around work, childcare and travel. Video calls allow a fuller conversation and visual connection, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or for a quick check-in, and messaging works well for brief reflections or ongoing written support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy parenting life and to maintain continuity between sessions.
