About Keren

Keren Richardson uses attachment-based, client-centred and psychodynamic ideas to help people make sense of painful feelings. She is a counsellor with a BACP accreditation and twelve years of experience supporting adults with a range of concerns. Keren writes plainly and listens carefully so people feel understood from the first session.

Keren draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This often helps when people struggle with intimacy, abandonment or repeated relationship difficulties.

Background and approach

She also uses Client-Centred Therapy to keep sessions paced by the client’s needs, offering a calm, non-judgemental space to talk. Narrative Therapy is used to examine the stories people tell about themselves. Changing these stories can reduce shame and open up new choices.

Keren combines that with psychodynamic ideas to notice links between past experiences and present reactions, making strong emotions easier to manage. People come to her with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those facing life changes, addiction concerns, trauma and relationship issues.

Other focus areas include eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, chronic illness and career stress. Keren practices in the United Kingdom and works in English. Sessions can be arranged online by following the site sign-up steps.

She aims to help people build clearer understanding, better coping, and practical steps they can try between sessions.

How Keren’s approaches work online

Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape what people expect from others. Online sessions can help uncover those patterns and reduce fear of intimacy or abandonment by trying new ways of relating in a steady, paced conversation.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor, letting the client set the pace and topics. In an online setting this means sessions follow the client’s needs, whether that looks like a reflective video call or a shorter text check-in on a busy day.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative effort. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences and suggest which methods might help most. This is reviewed as therapy progresses so the work stays relevant and practical.

Online therapy offers flexibility and easier access to regular sessions. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps, phone sessions use less bandwidth or work when being on camera isn’t wanted, and live chat or text-based messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or mobility limits.
