About Keely
Keely Strange is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people through difficult times. She offers a warm, non-judgemental space and listens carefully so clients can make sense of their feelings. Keely has worked in higher education and the disability sector, supporting students and staff with common issues such as anxiety, depression and ADHD.
Keely draws on nine years of experience working in various settings, including telephone and video-based support. Much of her work has involved one-to-one conversations that help people manage study, work and day-to-day life. She has also provided face-to-face counselling in clinics and carried out home visits when appropriate.
In her university roles she supports people with a wide range of barriers to learning and wellbeing. This has included helping people with panic, trauma-related difficulties, addiction and long-term health conditions. Her practical help aims to increase self-awareness and improve how people manage emotions and behaviour at work and in study.
Keely follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, ethical framework and attends regular fortnightly supervision. She combines client-centred listening with mindfulness and solution-focused methods to help clients find manageable steps forward. She also has extensive experience working by telephone and online.
She uses clear boundaries and written agreements to keep sessions structured. Sessions are carried out with attention to wellbeing and to helping people build confidence, cope with loss, and move towards goals in their daily lives.
How Keely’s approaches translate to online therapy
Keely works from a person-centred foundation which means the focus is on listening and following what matters most to the person in front of her. This approach helps people feel heard and valued, and it can support concerns such as low mood, grief and self-esteem by building greater self-awareness.Mindfulness practice is used to help people notice and manage strong thoughts and sensations. Simple breathing and grounding exercises are introduced to reduce anxiety and improve concentration during study or work. Solution-focused methods concentrate on small, realistic changes and short-term goals to move forward from stuck patterns or crises.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Keely will discuss goals and preferences and then agree a plan together so therapy fits the person’s needs. The process is collaborative and reviewed as progress is made.
If you plan to work online, confirm the available session formats before booking as format options are not listed here. Online work has practical benefits such as easier scheduling around study or work, shorter check-ins when needed, and the ability to continue support when travel is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals like Keely use remote sessions to help people maintain progress and cope with everyday pressures.
