About Keely
Keely Strange is a counsellor who uses a person-centred way of working. She aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about how they feel. Keely draws on nearly a decade of practice to help people understand and manage emotions and behaviour more effectively.
She has spent much of her career supporting students and staff in UK universities, helping with study demands and day-to-day work-life balance. This role has involved one-to-one support for depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD and other barriers to learning. Much of that work has been carried out remotely by telephone and video calls.
Keely also has experience working in addiction services and has used solution-focused methods to manage caseloads and reviews. She has provided clinic-based person-centred counselling when required and has worked with issues such as domestic violence, self-harm, OCD, loss and grief. Feedback from people she has worked with notes her calm, approachable manner.
She holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and follows its Ethical Framework. Keely attends fortnightly supervision to reflect on her work and to manage complex cases. She describes herself as dedicated and committed, with clear boundaries agreed through contract.
Keely offers sessions from her home and arranges home visits when appropriate. For anyone interested in talking about adoption and foster care matters, she lists that as an additional focus among other areas she supports.
How Keely blends person-centred and practical online work
Keely uses person-centred counselling to focus on the individual's experience, offering attentive listening and empathy so people can make sense of their feelings. This approach helps when someone needs space to talk about loss, stress or relationship concerns.She also draws on mindfulness therapy to develop simple present-moment skills for managing anxiety and strong emotions. Mindfulness exercises can help with grounding during intense feelings and build tolerance for difficult moments. Solution-focused therapy complements these approaches by keeping sessions practical and goal-oriented, identifying small steps that make a difference over time.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice is reviewed as therapy progresses so the plan stays relevant.
The biography notes Keely has worked remotely by telephone and by video calls, and has experience of telephone counselling where listening without visual cues is central. Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can access support from different locations.
