The person-centred approach holds faith in each individual's ability to discover their solutions to life's challenges and develop their coping mechanisms for life experiences. Person-centred counselling is a therapeutic method grounded in the belief that fostering a distinctive, trusting relationship between the client and the therapist can unlock and encourage the natural potential within each person.

Traumatic events can result in us feeling shocked, confused, and distressed. Common responses may involve feelings of overwhelm, guilt, shame, anxiety, sadness, anger, emotional detachment, as well as experiencing physical reactions such as tiredness, problems concentrating, shallow breathing, and nausea. Helping clients heal from trauma is challenging when they are missing one key experience – a stable, secure relationship. This lack of a steady, caring attachment relationship can make it more difficult to regulate emotions or build a trusting bond. As a trauma informed therapist Dr Liddy Carver is interested in the neuroscience behind trauma and attachment relationships, and how trauma can make clients more vulnerable to stress responses. Building a secure attunement helps clients co-regulate and feel safe with another person, draw out their strengths and coping skills, mindfully help them manage physical and emotional pain and reignite their hope for the future.
