About Keely

Keely Strange is a counsellor who draws on client-centred, mindfulness and solution-focused approaches. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk about things like anxiety, depression, stress and parenting concerns. Keely has worked remotely for several years and is comfortable running sessions by phone or video.

She has spent much of her career supporting students and staff in the disability sector at UK universities. That work has involved one-to-one support to help people manage study, work-life balance and barriers such as ADHD, PTSD and chronic illness.

Background and approach

Many of these conversations have been carried out by telephone or video calls. Alongside university roles, Keely has maintained a personal counselling practice offering one-to-one sessions. Her style is warm and empathetic, and she aims to help people understand and manage emotions and behaviour more effectively.

She also draws on practical problem-solving tools when clients want focused, short-term change. Keely has worked in addiction services and has experience supporting people through relationship difficulties, trauma, self-harm, grief and anger. She reports hundreds of counselling hours across about nine years of practice and continues to attend regular supervision to reflect on her work.

She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and follows its ethical framework. Sessions are offered in English, and Keely can work with international clients via online formats.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches work online

Client-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client so they can make their own choices. Online this means sessions concentrate on what the person brings, helping them feel heard and clearer about their next steps.

Mindfulness practice helps people notice thoughts and feelings without judgement and build coping routines. Delivered by video or phone it can include short breathing exercises and attention practices to use between sessions.

Solution-focused work looks for small, practical changes that move things forward quickly. It suits people who want focused goals and measurable steps they can try at home or work.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences and then shape a plan together. That plan can change as work progresses so clients can try different ways of working and keep what helps.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be quicker and use less bandwidth, while live chat or text messaging supports shorter check-ins and journalling between meetings. These options help people fit therapy around study, work and family life.
