A Safe Space

 

• What you say to the counsellor is confidential. This helps
  in the creation of a safe and secure space to explore
  issues and concerns.

• Having a particular fixed time slot for your counselling
  helps create a feeling of containment that can be
  therapeutically very valuable.

• Through the counsellor being authentic, empathetic and
  respectful, a trusting relationship can be built up. This can
  allow you to feel more able to explore difficult issues.

• Having a safe containing space can allow for the
  possibility of working on issues in a more creative way.
