Keren Richardson , BACP

Keren Richardson is a licensed, accredited therapist and clinical supervisor based in the United Kingdom with 12 years of counselling experience supporting adults and young people. She spent the first chapter of her life growing up and working in New Zealand, and she has worked with people facing anxiety, bereavement, depression, low self-esteem, loss and relationship difficulties.

As an integrative practitioner she adapts her approach to suit each person’s needs, combining creative techniques with reflective conversation. She holds BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which signals membership of a recognised professional body. Keren brings a warm, attentive manner and places emphasis on building a trusting therapeutic relationship so people feel genuinely heard and understood.

She uses thoughtful questions to help clients express their thoughts, feelings and experiences with greater ease, and explores links between past events and current emotional patterns so emotions feel less overwhelming and more manageable. Together with clients she considers how self-esteem and relationship dynamics affect daily life, working toward positive change, increased confidence and improved quality of life. Keren welcomes people from all backgrounds and practices in a supportive, non-discriminatory way. She looks forward to meeting clients and working collaboratively toward their goals.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Keren brings together approaches that help people make sense of their experience and build healthier relationships. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and emotion, and it can be helpful for issues around trust, abandonment and intimacy. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathy and non-judgmental listening, giving space for clients to explore feelings and build self-esteem at their own pace. Narrative Therapy helps people reframe personal stories by separating problems from identity, which can support change after loss, transition or difficult life events.

Finding the best approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she works collaboratively with clients to identify methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. She explains how different approaches work and, together with each client, selects or blends techniques to suit the situation. Licensed professionals often tailor care to the individual, and Keren applies that same collaborative logic in online work.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions may take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - making it easier to attend from home or while balancing other commitments. These options support more accessible scheduling, consistent contact during transitions, and a range of ways to communicate depending on what feels most comfortable for the client.
