Even Keel Counselling is a professional and compassionate counselling service based in Wrexham, offering confidential support to adults from all walks of life. The practice was founded with the aim of helping individuals restore balance, stability, and a sense of calm in their lives, even during challenging times.
The story of Even Keel Counselling began in 2008, when its founder, Keli Evans, first explored the world of counselling through an ‘Introduction to Counselling’ night class. This initial step was taken after a career change created the opportunity to study part-time. What started as curiosity quickly became a passion, leading to years of training and professional development.
After completing formal qualifications in 2013, the vision for a private practice became a reality. The name Even Keel Counselling emerged from a collaborative brainstorming session with friends, capturing the ethos of the service – supporting clients in navigating life’s challenges while working towards emotional steadiness and resilience.
In the early years, counselling was offered alongside full-time employment, with the founder also volunteering for the NHS and a rape and sexual abuse charity. These experiences provided valuable insight into a wide range of emotional and mental health needs, reinforcing a commitment to providing empathetic, non-judgemental care.
In 2018, Keli’s training began to become a Clinical Supervisor, expanding the scope of services to support other counselling professionals. Qualification followed in 2019, enabling Even Keel Counselling to provide supervision alongside client work.
The practice officially launched full-time in May 2020, steadily growing to meet the needs of individuals seeking a safe and supportive environment to explore personal challenges. Today, Even Keel Counselling offers both counselling and clinical supervision in Wrexham, Chester, and surrounding areas, tailoring each session to the unique needs of the person or professional receiving support.
