Keely StrangeBACP

Keely Strange is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people facing stress, anxiety and life changes. She works in a warm, non-judgemental way and aims to help people understand and manage their feelings and behaviour. Keely has nine years of counselling experience and is a member of the BACP.

Much of her work has been with students and staff in UK universities, supporting study, welfare and daily life balance. She has supported people with depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD and a range of long-term physical and mental health challenges. That work has included one-to-one sessions and welfare conversations at different levels of need.

Keely has also worked in addiction services, managing caseloads and using solution-focused methods alongside counselling skills. She has spent many years practising telephone counselling and remote work using phone and video, and finds that listening without visual cues draws deeply on counselling skills.

In addition to remote work, she has provided face-to-face counselling in clinics and sees some clients at home, with safeguarding procedures in place. She keeps regular fortnightly supervision and follows the BACP Ethical Framework in her practice.

Clients can expect calm, approachable support intended to build self-awareness and confidence. Keely balances practical problem-solving with space to talk about feelings, and she aims to help people make changes that improve daily life and study or work routines.

How Keely's approaches work in online therapy

Keely uses person-centred work to focus on what matters to the individual, offering time to be heard and understood before planning next steps. Client-Centred Therapy helps people notice their feelings and make choices that fit their lives, which can be useful for stress, depression and life transitions.

She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice thoughts and bodily reactions, with simple techniques for managing anxiety and improving focus. Solution-Focused Therapy appears in sessions as short practical steps and goal planning to tackle immediate problems and build momentum.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods feel most helpful, adapting the balance of listening, mindfulness exercises or solution-focused tasks to suit the person's needs and preferences.

Keely's biography notes substantial experience with telephone and video work and some face-to-face clinic sessions. Confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around study, work and parenting, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time while keeping continuity of care.
