Keren Richardson, BACP

Keren Richardson is a licensed and accredited therapist and clinical supervisor based in the United Kingdom, with 12 years of experience supporting adults and young people. She spent the first chapter of her life living and working in New Zealand before practising in the UK, and she holds the BACP credential - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a recognised professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists.

Keren works as an integrative practitioner who adapts therapeutic methods to match each person she sees. She offers a warm, nonjudgemental presence and prioritises building a trusting, positive relationship so individuals feel able to explore their thoughts and feelings. Keren listens attentively, asks a few gentle questions to help people share with greater ease, and makes connections between past experiences and present reactions to clarify how emotions and behaviours have developed.

Her work addresses issues such as anxiety, bereavement, depression, low self-esteem, loss and relationship difficulties, and she focuses on helping clients make constructive changes to improve self-confidence, relationships and overall quality of life. Keren welcomes people from all backgrounds and aims to provide supportive, respectful care. She looks forward to meeting and working collaboratively with new clients.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current emotional patterns and connections with others. It helps people understand feelings around closeness, abandonment and trust, and can be useful for relationship difficulties and attachment-related stress.

Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the heart of the work and emphasises empathy, active listening and acceptance. This approach supports people who are struggling with low self-esteem, anxiety, depression or life transitions by creating space to explore values and make changes at their own pace.

Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about their lives and helps separate a person from their problems. By exploring alternative narratives, therapists and clients can identify strengths and new possibilities for managing grief, identity concerns, addiction or patterns that feel stuck.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Keren will work collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit best with their needs, goals and preferences, and she will adjust the work as those needs evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life. These options increase accessibility for people who live at a distance, have mobility needs or prefer the convenience of remote sessions, while still allowing meaningful connection with licensed professionals and therapists.
