About Keelan
Keelan Donohue works with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and life changes using a person-centred way of working. He follows the principles of Client-Centred Therapy and has five years' experience in counselling and psychotherapy. Keelan is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Keelan explains that clients know their own story and already have strengths to draw on. He does not give advice or direct the path forward. Instead he listens, reflects and helps people make sense of what they are already doing and what they might try next.
Sessions focus on practical conversations about problems such as relationship strain, career concerns, eating and body image issues, trauma and abuse, or managing anger. He also supports people dealing with chronic illness, chronic pain, ADHD and mood or panic-related concerns.
Keelan uses the person-centred approach to help people feel heard and to build on their own resources. He may use additional techniques from further training when these fit the work, and he discusses these options with each person.
Work is offered in English and is based in the United Kingdom. Keelan has experience with a wide range of presenting difficulties, including attachment issues, communication problems, isolation and questions of life purpose. He aims to keep sessions straightforward and focused on practical next steps for daily life.
How Keelan uses person-centred work online
Client-Centred Therapy is grounded in listening and helping people make sense of their own experience. It focuses on the person's perspectives, strengths and choices rather than the counsellor directing the work. This approach can help with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and life changes.
Keelan may also draw on additional resources from further training to complement the person-centred work when appropriate. These are used only with the client's agreement and are discussed as part of deciding what feels most helpful.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The counsellor will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and adjust the way they work together. That exploration is part of the first sessions and ongoing checking-in helps to ensure the approach continues to fit.
Confirm the available session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around daily life, save travel time and allow quicker check-ins when needed. Different formats also suit different practical needs, for example shorter conversations by phone or video can fit a work break, and video sessions allow face-to-face discussion without travel.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
