trusted friend
Loyal close ally
A trusted friend is someone you can confide in and rely on completely.
The phrase emphasizes that this isn't just any friend but one who has earned your confidence through loyalty and discretion: She's the only trusted friend I'd tell this to.
The relationship implies mutual vulnerability—you trust them with information or feelings you wouldn't share widely.
