About Keely

Keely Strange helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and a wide range of life challenges using a person-centred way of working. She offers one-to-one counselling and remote support, and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has nine years' experience supporting people in university disability services and in other roles across counselling and welfare work.

Keely works with clients on everyday problems and more complex issues. These include depression, bipolar and anxiety, trauma and abuse, addiction, eating concerns, ADHD and compassion fatigue. She also supports people with family and parenting stresses, career worries, intimacy and commitment concerns, and the effects of bereavement or separation.

The approach is rooted in Client-Centred Therapy, with elements of mindfulness and solution-focused techniques. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting and helping people notice options they can try between meetings. Keely aims to help clients increase self-awareness and manage emotions and behaviour more effectively.

Her background includes many years providing remote counselling by telephone and video for university students and staff, often assisting people with study-related pressures and barriers to learning. She has also worked in clinic settings covering face-to-face sessions and has experience in addiction services where she used solution-focused approaches.

Keely keeps regular supervision and follows the BACP Ethical Framework. She has accumulated hundreds of counselling hours and combines this practice with welfare responsibilities in workplace settings, where occasional short welfare conversations form part of her role.

How her approaches work in remote counselling

Keely uses Client-Centred Therapy, which means she listens closely and reflects what people say so they can understand their feelings more clearly. This helps with low mood, anxiety and general relationship or work-related stress.

She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy, teaching simple awareness exercises to reduce reactivity and increase focus. These practices can help with panic, compulsive behaviours and emotional overwhelm. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to identify small, practical steps clients can try between sessions to move toward their goals.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Keely will talk with each person about their situation, goals and preferences and agree together which techniques to use. That collaborative planning helps shape how sessions progress.

Details about session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the available remote options before booking. Many people find remote counselling easier to fit around study, work or family commitments, and it can make short check-ins more practical when time is limited. Online sessions also allow work with people who live farther away or those who need to avoid travel, while keeping continuity of support between face-to-face meetings when required.
