Keeley Simone Patricia Taverner

Psychotherapist

Raised by her single mother, on a West London council estate, where “schools housed us rather than engineered our minds for greatness”; Keeley is a British- Jamaican psychotherapist, who has defied the odds. She started adulthood as a mother of two, working as a cashier at Ikea, whilst trapped in an abusive relationship with a narcissistic partner. Self-help books became her only place of solace as she battled to make sense out of a humiliating situation.

Having left school with no formal qualifications and little self-belief, reading self-help material profoundly inspired Keeley. Step by step, brick by brick, she changed her life and defied the odds. Today she regards herself as the empaths companion and is a sort after psychotherapist and guest speaker. Regularly appearing on BBC radio and as guest ‘on the couch’ psychotherapist with Denise Van Oulten. Keeley runs her private practice, Key for Change and serves clients in the U.K. and abroad, specialising in supporting highly sensitive, agreeable, empathic people, to understand toxic relationship dynamics. So, they can go from confusion to clarity and move on, to love again and live fulfilling lives.
