About Keely
Counsellor Keely Strange is a BACP member with nine years' experience. She works in the United Kingdom supporting people with stress, anxiety, depression and a wide range of other concerns including ADHD and trauma. She practises mainly in one-to-one settings and has worked extensively with students and staff in university disability services.
Keely uses a person-centred approach in sessions, focusing on listening and helping people make sense of their feelings. She has also used solution-focused methods to work on practical steps and goals. Mindfulness techniques are included when helpful to manage anxiety and improve everyday coping.
Much of Keely's work has been delivered remotely by phone and video calls. She has long experience of telephone counselling and of running one-to-one remote sessions with students who have learning barriers or health conditions. She also has provided face-to-face counselling in clinic settings and occasional home visits where appropriate.
Her background includes work in payroll and administration alongside counselling roles, and several years supporting people with addiction and related issues. This has involved managing client workloads, reviews and practical solution-focused work to support recovery and stability.
Keely takes regular supervision and follows the BACP Ethical Framework. She keeps boundaries through formal agreements and aims to help people increase self-awareness and manage emotions more effectively. Prospective clients in the UK and abroad can confirm current session options before booking.
Approaches Keely uses and how online counselling can work
Keely draws on person-centred work which focuses on being listened to and making sense of feelings. This approach is useful for people who need someone to hear them and help them increase self-awareness.She also uses solution-focused therapy to identify small, practical steps and clear goals. This helps when someone wants short-term changes or direct ways to manage problems. Mindfulness techniques are used to help reduce anxiety and improve day-to-day coping by practising attention and grounding exercises.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Keely discusses needs, goals and preferences with each person and agrees an approach together. The style and tools can change as the work progresses so it stays relevant to the client's situation.
Much of her previous work has been carried out by phone and video calls. The exact session formats for new clients should be confirmed before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, limit travel time and allow regular short check-ins where helpful. Registered or accredited professionals including counsellors often find that remote work suits people who need flexibility while they manage study, work or caring commitments.
