Safety
“Connection is the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; when they can give and receive without judgment.” ~ Brené Brown
Talking about something personal or painful can feel scary and vulnerable. However, Eva believes that taking the first step to attend counselling is an act of courage and strength. To help her clients feel safe, she offers a caring and nonjudgmental approach that allows them to feel seen, heard, and valued.
Also, Eva’s office is located in her home, therefore fostering a welcoming environment that has consistently proven to be comforting to clients.
Collaboration
Collaboration means to Eva that she respects her clients’ autonomy, expertise, and values, and that she invites them to co-create solutions, actions, and outcomes with her. Therefore, Eva and her clients work together towards goals and her role is to provide support, practical feedback, and tools that empower the client to identify and meet those goals.
