Commitment
Bethel is committed to confidentiality for all who attend.
Our promise is to listen deeply, while suspending blame and judgement.
People come to Bethel for all sorts of reasons, because there's a multitude of ways in which we can harm each other.
Our counsellors have professional understanding of trauma. They appreciate the significant impacts which can occur as a result of abuse, whether emotional, physical, sexual, or spiritual. They have deep insight into the ways in which power can be misused, and the profound effects this can have on interpersonal relationships and mental health.
