About Keely

Keely Strange is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has nine years' experience. She works with adults on common problems such as anxiety, depression, ADHD and relationship struggles. Her background includes supporting people with study, work-life balance and a broad range of mental health and wellbeing issues.

Keely has worked for universities in the UK within the disability sector. There she supports students and staff one-to-one to manage study demands, emotional distress and practical barriers to learning. She has experience of working with panic, PTSD, autism, addiction and long-term health issues alongside more everyday worries about work and study.

Her remote practice has included telephone, Skype and Zoom sessions for several years, and she has also provided clinic-based face-to-face counselling when needed. Keely’s day-to-day roles include welfare conversations and short supportive talks as well as longer counselling sessions, so she is used to both brief check-ins and more in-depth work.

She uses client-centred ways of working alongside mindfulness and solution-focused methods. In practice this means listening, helping people notice what matters to them, and identifying small steps to try between sessions. Keely records many counselling hours including work with addiction, domestic violence, grief, self-harm and anger concerns.

Keely keeps fortnightly supervision and follows the BACP ethical framework. She works under agreed boundaries and contracts and supports people who are studying, starting their careers or adjusting to life changes. International clients may be accepted; confirm current session options before booking.

How Keely uses therapeutic approaches online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to a person. It helps people who need someone to understand their experience and to clarify their own priorities. Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and straightforward practices to reduce reactivity and manage stress or anxiety.

Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical steps and past successes to build on. It suits people who want concrete goals and brief, focused change work. Keely combines these approaches to match what someone needs in early adulthood, such as managing study pressure, navigating first jobs or sorting relationship worries.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches suit their goals, preferences and the problems they bring. That process can change as sessions continue, and methods may be adjusted together.

The biography indicates Keely has run sessions by telephone, Skype and Zoom in recent years. Confirm the current session formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around study and work, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions can slot into busy weeks.
