About Keely
Keely Strange is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with nine years' experience. She works with issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions and blended family issues. Keely supports people dealing with study, work-life balance and everyday stressors.
Keely has worked in the disability sector for universities, supporting students and staff one-to-one. She helps people manage barriers such as ADHD, PTSD and other mental and physical challenges so they can continue study or work. Much of this work has been remote, using telephone and video calls.
Since qualifying as a counsellor she has maintained a private practice offering one-to-one counselling. Sessions focus on helping people understand their emotions and behaviour so they can make practical changes in daily life. Keely also carries welfare responsibilities in her employment, providing brief check-ins as well as longer conversations when needed.
Her background includes years as a telephone counsellor and time providing face-to-face counselling in clinic settings. She has worked in addiction services and used solution-focused methods alongside person-centred approaches to support people through relationship difficulties, loss, self-harm and anger issues.
Keely keeps regular fortnightly supervision and follows the BACP Ethical Framework. She has accumulated hundreds of counselling hours and aims to hold clear boundaries through agreed working contracts. People who contact her can expect straightforward, practical support aimed at helping them manage emotions and daily tasks.
How her approaches shape online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist offers non-judgemental contact and reflects what a person says so they can better understand their feelings. This approach helps with confidence, low mood and relationship concerns.Mindfulness Therapy involves simple awareness exercises to reduce reactivity to stress. Short, practical practices can help with anxiety, racing thoughts and coping with intense emotions. Solution-Focused Therapy looks at small, achievable steps and what is already working. It is useful for people who want brief, goal-oriented conversations about improving daily routines and problem solving.
Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide what methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. This is reviewed as sessions progress so the plan can change if something is not helpful.
Confirm the exact online session formats before booking, as current options are not specified here. Many people find online sessions help fit counselling into busy days, allow brief check-ins during a work break, or make it easier to connect when travel is difficult. Discuss practical arrangements with the therapist when arranging the first appointment to make sessions work with everyday life.
