Keelan Donohue, BACP

Keelan Donohue is a licensed counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of experience working across counselling and psychotherapy settings. He has supported both adults and children through a wide range of mental health difficulties and personal challenges, offering a steady, respectful presence as people work through change and loss.

His practice is firmly rooted in Person Centred Theory - often called client-centred therapy - which focuses on creating an accepting, non-directive space where the client is regarded as the expert in their own life. Keelan believes that people already possess the strengths and resources needed to adapt and move forward, and his role is to listen, reflect, and gently support that process rather than to give advice or steer outcomes.

Sessions with Keelan involve exploring the steps a person has already taken, clarifying where they want to go next, and paying close attention to how they are experiencing the present moment. He works from an attitude of unconditional respect and seeks to respond to each individual's needs without judgement. Keelan also holds BACP membership - a professional UK association for counsellors and psychotherapists - and has undertaken further training that provides additional tools and resources to complement his person-centred work.

When life feels overwhelming, Keelan encourages taking things one breath at a time, meeting each moment with patience and curiosity.

Client-Centred Support and Online Therapy

Keelan bases his practice on client-centred therapy, an approach that prioritises empathy, active listening, and acceptance. This method helps people explore their feelings, build self-understanding, and find their own solutions when facing issues such as life transitions, low mood, or relationship strain.

Alongside this core model, Keelan draws on additional training to bring complementary resources and techniques into sessions when useful. These supportive tools are chosen to enhance the person-centred work and to respond to the specific needs a client brings.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Keelan works collaboratively with each person to determine what feels most helpful - considering their goals, preferences, and the pace that suits them - so the therapy evolves in partnership rather than being imposed.

Online therapy with Keelan is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access registered professionals from home or another convenient location, support continuity during busy periods, and allow people to choose the format that best fits their day-to-day life.
