About Keely Strange
Keely Strange brings extensive experience supporting students and staff within the university disability sector across the United Kingdom. She works one-to-one to help people balance study and daily life, offering practical and emotional support for a wide range of challenges including depression, anxiety, PTSD and ADHD. Much of this work has been delivered remotely by telephone, Skype and Zoom, which has informed her ability to build therapeutic rapport without visual cues.
Since qualifying as a counsellor, Keely has continued to offer private one-to-one counselling aimed at creating a warm, non-judgemental space where people can explore their feelings and emotions. In her university roles she also carries responsibilities for employee welfare, providing anything from brief supportive conversations to more in-depth discussions. Her approach helps people understand and manage their emotions and behaviour, increasing self-awareness to improve both life and work circumstances.
Keely works within clear contractual boundaries to maintain professional limits and reports having witnessed positive changes, growth and development as a result of her interventions. She combines challenge with practical support, going the extra mile to meet individual needs while offering empathy and steady presence. In university settings she supports students with additional needs through issues such as anxiety, panic, ADHD and autism so they can progress toward degrees and postgraduate study.
Her background includes many years as a telephone counsellor, where she developed the capacity to listen deeply and respond effectively without relying on visual information. She also provides face-to-face person-centred counselling in clinic settings when needed. Outside counselling she has worked in payroll and accounting, carrying responsibility for weekly pay calculations, overtime and sickness payments and related bookkeeping tasks.
Keely has direct experience supporting people with addiction and has managed her own client caseload using administration, review and solution-focused methods. Over the course of her work she has supported individuals dealing with relationship difficulties, domestic violence, abuse, self-harm, OCD, depression, anxiety, anger management, loss and grief. Her therapeutic skills aim to help people access feelings, build confidence and reach their potential. Feedback from those she has worked with describes her as approachable, easy to talk to and calm in difficult situations.
She offers sessions at her home and can provide home visits, with safeguarding procedures in place. Keely respects data protection and information sharing practices and adheres to professional standards. She is a member of BACP and an accredited member of NCPS, and works with the Ethical Principle Framework to guide ethical practice. Due to the nature of working with vulnerable people she attends fortnightly supervision to raise concerns, review and reflect on her caseload. She reports having accumulated hundreds of counselling hours over the last 8 years of practice.
