About Keely
Keely Strange is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with nine years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and a wide range of life challenges including relationship issues, addiction and grief. Keely also supports those navigating ADHD, trauma and concerns linked to identity and intimacy. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.
Keely draws on client-centred, mindfulness and solution-focused approaches. In practice this means listening first, helping people notice what matters to them, and working together on small, practical steps. Sessions often focus on understanding and managing emotions, reducing distressing symptoms such as panic or low mood, and building everyday routines that support study, work and relationships.
Much of Keely's experience comes from work in the disability sector at several UK universities. There she supported students one-to-one to maintain study and work-life balance while managing conditions such as anxiety, ADHD and PTSD. She also has experience in addiction services and has carried a personal client caseload using solution-focused methods.
Keely has run telephone and video sessions for several years, and has provided face-to-face counselling in clinic settings when needed. She combines welfare roles and counselling work, offering quick check-ins as well as longer therapeutic meetings. Her practice follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework and she attends regular supervision.
Keely keeps clear boundaries through written agreements and a contract with clients. Costs vary by location and sessions are provided via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Keely uses client-centred, mindfulness and solution-focused work online
Keely works from client-centred principles which means she prioritises listening and understanding a person's experience before suggesting changes. This approach suits people who need time to put their worries into words and to feel heard during sessions.Mindfulness practices are used to help people notice thoughts and bodily responses without judgement. These simple techniques can be useful for managing anxious moments, panic and stress, and for improving focus during study or work.
Solution-focused work concentrates on small, practical steps and on what is already working. It is helpful for people who want concrete ideas to change routines, improve relationships or manage specific problems such as workplace stress or addictive behaviour.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Keely will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, and then agree a plan together. The process is collaborative and can be reviewed as progress is made.
