Rate Keely Strange

Hello and welcome!

With over 4000 hours of counselling experience, I offer a welcoming and compassionate space for individuals to explore their emotions, gain clarity, and move toward positive change.

I work with students at all academic levels—from undergraduate to postdoctoral—across various UK universities, providing personalised, one-on-one support to help manage academic pressures, mental health challenges, and everyday life struggles. Whether it’s navigating anxiety, depression, stress, PTSD, ADHD, or just the ups and downs of life, I’m here to support you in finding balance and building resilience.

Since becoming a qualified counsellor, I’ve dedicated myself to creating a warm, non-judgemental environment where you can feel safe to express yourself and work through whatever challenges you may be facing.

My goal is always to empower you to build emotional resilience, foster self-awareness, and unlock your full potential—whether that’s in your studies, work, relationships, or personal well-being.

In addition to my private practice, I work with employees to support their emotional well-being in the workplace, helping them manage stress, mental health, and work-life balance. This dual focus on both academic and professional well-being gives me a unique perspective and a deep understanding of how emotional health plays a role in every part of life.

What I Offer

One of the key areas of my practice is pregnancy choices counselling, where I offer a confidential, supportive space for individuals to make informed decisions about their futures. Whether you’re uncertain, overwhelmed, or simply looking for someone to talk to, I’m here to help you navigate your feelings and explore all your options with care and empathy.

I also specialise in mental health support, working with clients to manage challenges like anxiety, depression, panic attacks, PTSD, OCD, ADHD, and autism. My work also includes supporting clients with day-to-day living challenges—helping you find healthier ways to cope with stress, improve emotional regulation, and create a sense of balance in your life.

I offer telephone counselling, which allows us to connect wherever you feel most comfortable. This way of working requires deep listening and empathy, and I find it to be a meaningful and powerful way to support clients—whether you're at home, at work, or anywhere else.

My Approach

I take a integrative approach to therapy, meaning that I see you as a unique individual and tailor our work together to meet your specific needs.

My goal is to offer you a space where you can feel heard, valued, and supported—whether you’re dealing with relationship difficulties, grief, loss, self-harm, anger management, or navigating life transitions.

I believe that everyone has the capacity for growth and change, and I’m here to help you build the emotional tools and self-awareness needed to thrive.

I am committed to maintaining the highest standards of confidentiality, safeguarding, and ethical practice, ensuring that you feel safe, respected, and empowered throughout our work together.

Professional Development & Clinical Supervision Training

I am also in the final stages of my clinical supervision training, which will allow me to offer guidance and support to other professionals in the field. This ongoing professional development helps me stay up-to-date with best practices and enhances my ability to support my clients in meaningful ways.

I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP) and an accredited member of the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS).

Regular supervision ensures I can continue to offer the best possible care and reflect on my work to maintain a high standard of practice.

Flexible & Client-Centered Care

I understand that life can be busy, and finding time to focus on your emotional well-being is important but can sometimes feel challenging. That’s why I offer flexible scheduling options, so you can access the support you need when it works for you. Whether you're navigating academic stress, mental health concerns, or important life decisions, I’m here to listen, guide, and support you in your journey toward growth and healing.
