Keelan Donohue, BACP

Keelan Donohue is a licensed counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of experience working across the counselling and psychotherapy field. He has supported both adults and children through a wide range of mental health concerns and personal challenges, drawing on practical experience with issues such as stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, depression, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, anger, career matters, ADHD and other mood and panic-related difficulties.

His work is grounded in Person Centred Theory, often called client-centred therapy, which focuses on creating a respectful and non-directive space where the client is regarded as the expert in their own life. Keelan believes that people already possess many of the strengths and skills needed to adapt to change and manage life’s obstacles, and he aims to nurture those capacities rather than direct or advise on a chosen path.

Sessions with Keelan involve close listening, reflection on the steps a client has already taken, and collaborative exploration of where they want to go next. He does not take the lead or offer prescriptive advice; instead he accompanies clients through this stage of their journey and listens with unconditional regard. He also holds BACP membership - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - indicating affiliation with the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK.

Additional training has provided Keelan with complementary tools and resources to tailor the work to individual needs. When life feels overwhelming, his approach encourages taking things one breath at a time.

Person-Centred Support and Online Access

Keelan works primarily from a client-centred perspective, which prioritises empathy, respect, and the belief that each person is the expert on their own experience. This approach involves active listening and reflective responses to help clients explore their feelings, clarify goals, and draw on their own strengths - it is well suited to concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, and life transitions.

That person-centred foundation is supplemented by additional training and resources that Keelan can bring into sessions when appropriate, offering practical options without moving away from a collaborative stance. Determining which approach fits best is a shared process - Keelan will work with each client to identify the methods and pace that match their needs, goals, and preferences.

Online therapy with Keelan is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexible access for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or geographic constraints within the United Kingdom. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from familiar surroundings, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for the individual.
