About Keren
Keren Richardson is a counsellor who combines attachment-based thinking with narrative and psychodynamic ideas. She brings 12 years of experience supporting adults through stress, anxiety, grief and major life changes. Her approach is warm and curious, aimed at helping people feel understood and less overwhelmed.
Keren uses a client-centred stance to listen without judgement and follow what matters most to each person. Conversations start with gentle questions to help clients share their thoughts and feelings more easily.
Background and approach
She pays attention to how past experiences and relationships shape current reactions and patterns. This exploration helps people make sense of emotions and behaviours that feel stuck. Keren also looks at self-esteem and relationship patterns so clients can try different ways of responding.
Practical small steps are often discussed alongside deeper reflection. Keren has worked with a wide range of concerns including depression, addiction, trauma, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, bipolar and ADHD. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver stress, bereavement and career-related strain.
Parenting is one of the areas she lists as a focus. Sessions focus on building a trusting working relationship and finding approaches that fit each person. Keren welcomes people from diverse backgrounds and aims to create an atmosphere of respect and openness.
If someone wants to change how they respond to life’s pressures, she offers steady support and practical ways to move forward.

How Keren’s approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape feelings about closeness and trust. Online work can use conversations to identify those patterns and try new ways of relating that feel safer and more manageable.Client-Centred Therapy puts the client’s experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows what matters most to the person, which helps people feel heard even when they are not in the same room.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy journey. Keren will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit someone’s goals, needs and preferences. That may mean blending ideas from different approaches and checking in regularly about what is helpful.
Online formats – video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging – make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video lets people use visual cues, phone calls need less bandwidth, live chat can be useful for short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options offer flexibility and accessibility while keeping the focus on steady therapeutic work with registered or accredited professionals.
