I agree with you Sophie. As a Counsellor, who has worked for the public service and now who is setting up my own room, I can only concur with what both you and David have said. In my case, the configuration of the consulting room was a part of my course. I have consulted with a Colour Adviser and an Interior Decorator and am happy that my room will be a part of the conduit for therapy. My brief for both was peaceful, but not mind numbing: and professional but not arrogant. The monetary cost was small and well worth it. But at the end of the day it is the connection with the Counsellor/Therapist that is the most important. Their personality will be projected through the layout and contents of their room. Clients must feel safe and connected, and once they have found this with a Counsellor, personal idiosyncracities as displayed in the room pale into insignifigance. Sue
