About Keren

Keren Richardson is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 12 years of experience. She works with adults on issues such as anxiety, depression, grief and low self-esteem. Her style is warm and straightforward, and she aims to make people feel heard and understood from the first session.

She uses a Narrative approach alongside attachment-informed and client-centred ideas. That means she helps people make sense of the stories they tell about themselves and how past relationships shape current feelings.

Background and approach

Conversations focus on linking past experiences with present reactions so feelings become easier to manage. Keren also brings psychodynamic thinking into sessions to look at patterns that repeat over time. Sessions are conversational rather than technical, with questions used to help people reflect.

She aims to work at a pace that feels comfortable for the person in front of her. Practical concerns such as sleep, eating, work stress, parenting pressures and relationship problems are addressed alongside emotional issues like trauma, abandonment or attachment difficulties. She also supports people coping with chronic illness, caregiver strain, addiction, and issues around identity and intimacy.

Keren offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their life. To start, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are arranged from there.

How narrative and attachment work online

Online therapy with this counsellor draws on Narrative Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas to help people untangle difficult feelings. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories a person tells about themselves and their life. By naming and reworking those stories, people often find more options for moving forward, which can help with issues like anxiety, grief or low self-esteem.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. The counsellor explores how past connections influence present emotions and reactions, which is useful for relationship strain, abandonment issues and feelings of insecurity. Both approaches are presented in simple, conversational ways rather than technical language.

Finding the right approach is a shared task. The counsellor will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they adjust methods and pacing so sessions fit the individual’s needs and rhythm.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit those who prefer not to be on camera, and live chat or messaging can be useful for shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping therapy practical and accessible.
