Keely Strange
Person-centred counsellor focusing on practical change
About Keely
Keely Strange is a counsellor who uses a person-centred way of working. She creates a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, addiction and relationship worries. Sessions can happen by phone, video or messaging, and she draws on nine years of practice to guide conversations.
Her approach focuses on listening first and then helping people find practical steps forward. That might mean building coping skills for panic and depression, working through grief, or supporting someone with neurodivergent needs such as ADHD.
Background and approach
She also helps people reflect on work-life balance and career-related pressures. Keely has substantial experience in the disability sector within UK universities. She supports students and staff one-to-one, helping them manage study and workplace challenges while navigating mental health difficulties.
Much of this work has been delivered remotely, which she continues to offer in her independent practice. She has worked in addiction services and has used solution-focused methods alongside person-centred listening. Clients have included people facing domestic violence, trauma, self-harm, OCD and complex loss.
Keely sits with people to help them notice feelings and to try small, manageable changes. Keely is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She meets regularly with a supervisor and follows an ethical framework in her work.
Practical boundaries and clear agreements are part of how she operates.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Keely uses client-centred practice in online sessions, which means she listens closely and follows the person’s lead. This approach suits people who need a compassionate space to make sense of feelings and life events.She also draws on mindfulness methods to help with anxiety, panic and stress. Mindfulness exercises in sessions teach simple ways to notice thoughts and grounding techniques that can be practised between meetings. Solution-focused techniques are used to set small, achievable goals and to spot what already works in a person’s life, which helps with practical problems like work-life balance or coping strategies.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Keely will talk with the person about their goals, preferences and the issues they bring, then try out methods together to see what fits. Adjustments are made as work progresses so the approach remains relevant.
Online formats offer flexibility for different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit shorter, ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit sessions around study, work and caring responsibilities while maintaining continuity of care.
