Keely Strange, BACP

Keely Strange uses a client-centred approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction and life changes. She works in a direct, calm way so people can talk through difficult feelings. Keely draws on nine years of counselling experience and brings warmth and patience to each conversation.

She has a background supporting students and staff in UK universities, helping people balance study, work and everyday life. That work covered a wide range of needs, including depression, PTSD, ADHD and other barriers to learning and participation. Much of this support was delivered remotely by phone and video calls.

Keely also has experience in addiction services, where she carried her own caseload and used practical, solution-focused methods alongside person-centred care. She has worked in clinic settings for face-to-face counselling and has carried out telephone-only work for long periods, developing strong listening skills without visual cues.

Clients can expect a steady, non-judgemental space to explore emotions and behaviour. Keely aims to increase self-awareness so people can better manage moods, relationships and daily demands. She keeps boundaries clear and follows an ethical framework in her work.

She maintains regular supervision because much of her caseload involves vulnerable people, and she prepares carefully for sessions and reviews. Keely accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English using a mix of video calls, telephone, live chat and text-based messaging.

Keely is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She combines practical techniques and listening skills to help people make small, manageable changes.

How client-centred and solution-based therapy works online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space so the person can make sense of feelings and build self-awareness. This approach suits people who need emotional support and clearer thinking about their choices.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness exercises to help reduce stress and quiet racing thoughts. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and for anyone who wants practical techniques to manage everyday distress.

Solution-Focused Therapy emphasises small, achievable changes. It looks at what is already working and builds on strengths to set short-term goals, which can be helpful for coping with life changes, work pressures and practical problems.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences and agree a plan together. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions so they feel relevant and useful from the start.

Online sessions use video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, while phone sessions can work better when bandwidth is limited or the client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when writing feels easier than speaking. These options give flexibility to fit therapy around study, work and daily life.
