Keelan Donohue, BACP

Keelan Donohue helps people facing stress, anxiety, low mood, grief and difficulties with self-esteem. He offers straightforward, calm support for common life challenges like coping with change, relationship and family concerns, and issues linked to trauma, eating or anger. Keelan works from a client-focused stance and aims to make sessions simple and practical.

Keelan has five years of experience working in counselling and psychotherapy settings across the United Kingdom. He holds BACP, which indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. That background has given him experience with a wide range of difficulties, including ADHD, panic symptoms, mood disorders and chronic health concerns.

His practice centres on Client-Centred Therapy. In sessions he listens without judgement and follows the client’s pace. He encourages people to notice their own strengths and to explore what they want to change, without offering advice or stepping into their decision-making.

Keelan will work with the story a person brings and help reflect what they already know about themselves. He also draws on additional training to introduce helpful ideas or tools as needed. The focus is on practical steps that feel manageable between sessions.

Sessions can cover practical coping strategies, clearer communication, managing overwhelming feelings and building steadier day-to-day routines. Keelan aims to make therapy feel like a collaborative process that helps people move forward one small step at a time.

Approach and online therapy options

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work and focuses on warm, non-judgemental listening. The counsellor reflects back what is said and helps people notice their own strengths and choices, which can help with anxiety, low mood, grief and relational worries.

In practice, this means sessions start with the client’s concerns and proceed at their pace. The therapist will not direct the path or give advice but will offer gentle reflection and occasional practical ideas drawn from additional training. Together the client and therapist decide which small steps to try between sessions so progress feels manageable.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video calls recreate a face-to-face feel for longer conversations, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for short check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect in writing over time. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or medical commitments and can reduce travel time while keeping the focus on consistent, collaborative work.
