Psychological Insight for Live TV, Radio and Print

I’m Dr Carolyne Keenan, a Registered Psychologist who regularly works with broadcasters, journalists and production teams to provide clear, calm and psychologically grounded insight on complex emotional topics.

I’m experienced in live television and radio, comfortable thinking on my feet, and skilled at translating psychological theory into language that is accessible, engaging and reassuring for a wide audience.

Enquiries

If you’re a producer, journalist or editor looking for an experienced psychologist to contribute to TV, radio, podcasts or print, I’d be happy to discuss potential collaborations.

  • I regularly contribute to national broadcast media, including:

    • BBC Radio 1 – Life Hacks, where I offer psychological insight on topics such as anxiety, relationships, identity, burnout, masking, family dynamics and mental health

    • BBC Radio Scotland, contributing to discussions on adolescence, relationships and emotional wellbeing

    • National print and online media, providing expert commentary on mental health, relationships, parenting and behaviour

    My media work is grounded in clinical experience and informed by real-life contexts, making it relatable without losing depth or integrity.

  • I’m frequently asked to comment on:

    • Teen and young adult mental health

    • Anxiety, stress and burnout

    • Relationships, attachment and family dynamics

    • Parenting, adolescence and identity

    • Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA)

    • Shame, self-worth and emotional regulation

    • Social media, comparison and modern pressures

    I’m particularly experienced in discussing emotionally sensitive topics in a way that is ethical, compassionate and audience-safe.

  • I’m confident working live on air, including:

    • Responding to breaking stories

    • Contributing to panel discussions

    • Answering listener questions

    • Offering concise, thoughtful analysis under time pressure

    I’m comfortable adapting tone and depth depending on the format- from short soundbites to longer analytical conversation- and I understand the demands of broadcast pacing and clarity.

Producers and presenters value that I:

I aim to help audiences understand why people behave as they do, without blame, sensationalism or oversimplification.

Avoid jargon and over-clinical language

Respect boundaries and avoid speculation

Provide context rather than commentary on individuals

Offer balanced, non-judgemental perspectives
