Keeley Taverner is a contemporary dynamic socially-aware human-potential expert. She is a qualified psychotherapist, group facilitator, rehabilitator, motivational speaker and mentor with a breadth of experience in both the public and private sector. The philosophy ‘Triumph Over Adversity’ is central to all the work Keeley undertakes and is shaped by her experience of overcoming the adversity of a basic education, low self-esteem and social deprivation.

Keeley’s personal journey of growth and change began in 2000, when she reached an all time low. In desperate need of understanding and support, she often found she was confronted with people’s judgements & opinions - which only served to deepen her despair and isolation. At that time, the personal matters that significantly hindered her potential were low-self esteem, destructive intimate relationships, comfort eating, feelings of inadequacy regarding race & class and a pre-occupation with material goods.

Recreationally, Keeley began reading self–help books and began to challenge the limiting beliefs that had long held her back. Quite quickly, she realised that this was not merely a hobby, in confronting her own personal problems she discovered she had a fascination for the human spirit. Keeley wanted to make helping others a way of life and in 2003, as a mature single-parent student, she embarked upon an undergraduate Psychology degree.

Since then, Keeley has steadily risen from an unskilled checkout operative to a contemporary, socially relevant human – potential expert. Keeley completed her master’s degree at the renowned Metanoia Institute and combined academic study with her full time role as a front-line probation service officer in the challenging environment of HMP Wormwood Scrubs.

Keeley is acutely aware of the growth promoting conditions that facilitate and hinder human development. In 2012 she founded Key 4 Change – a human potential consultancy. Key 4 Change represents an exciting amalgamation of her professional, personal and academic experiences and brings an unparalleled service that unleashes human potential in invigorating and inspiring ways.
