Much of Keren’s training and practice has highlighted the importance of attachment and childhood ruptures and the skills she shares with clients can help them self-regulate and develop greater awareness of their feelings and needs. She also helps clients learn how to be with difficult emotions and track where they are to help avoid descending into depression or anxiety.
Prior to joining Beacon House, Keren worked in private practice and in the mindfulness clinic of a psychiatric hospital where she provided individual therapy for outpatients. She also led and facilitated mindfulness groups, offering support to individuals who were integrating back into the community.
Before training as a Psychotherapist Keren worked as a coach, trainer and group facilitator in the International Development and Charity sectors, for clients including the United Nations (UN), the RNLI, Macmillan and The Metropolitan Police. As a group facilitator overseas, she worked with trauma on a community level and saw first-hand how community events such as violent conflicts, sexual abuse, extreme poverty and inequality can influence an individual’s psyche – experiences she draws on when appropriate in her therapeutic work.
Keren is accredited by the United Kingdom Council of Psychotherapists (UKCP) Membership no’ 2011173113.
