Writing centers provide a sense a comfort to those who feel lost in terms of written pieces. Whether its aid in writing an organized piece, or writing tutoring in general writing practices.
The principles I think I would see in a writing center are:
A) Empathy
B) Not being judgemental
C) Open door policy
D) Non-Assertiveness
E) Fair treatment as peers

It's always good to give someone who needs a help a sense of comfort as you said. A writing center should be a place where it becomes easier to write. All the things you mentioned in this list are essential to create an atmosphere that is not intimidating, a place where a student can lower their guard and relax because writing center staff will communicate with them at their level and at their pace.
