"Claire Sutton gave a presentation on EAP counselling at the BC Chapter of the Canadian Counselling Association's conference "Enrich your practice, enrich yourself" in February 2005. Claire is a great presenter and gave a highly professional, informative, interesting talk. She received top-notch evaluations from attendees and was a pleasure to work with in planning the event".

(BC Chapter Vice-President/ Secretary)
"I have had the pleasure to work with Claire on several files. Not only does she maintain good communication with the other professionals involved in the matter, she provides the support that clients so often need to address their hurt over the end of their couple relationship and their needs to consider changes to their lives. She does all this with her gentle sense of humour".
Deborah Lynn Zutter

"Recently completed Claire Sutton's ABCs of EAP and found Claire to be a knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and thoughtful workshop facilitator. She provided us with a rounded, balanced view of the EAP territory, including its history, development and current issues. I particularly appreciated the examples and insights Claire shared from her own extensive experience in the field".
Elizabeth Chambers, MA
Registered Clinical Counsellor
"From the ages of 16 through 33, I consulted two psychiatrists, one social worker, two psychologists and a registered clinical counsellor. The last of these was Claire Sutton, M.A., RCC. In all respects, Claire was a standout: realistic, straightforward, emotive, very bright, practical, insightful, book-wise, street-wise, and genuine. She helped me through depression, lack of motivation, and lack of self-esteem, and during unusually excruciating times at that. I consider myself lucky to have found her, and I would recommend her to anyone."

Her expertise is recognized and sought out as she accepts each task with commitment and integrity".
Gloria McArter, PhD, RCC, CCC, RMFT
"I have benefited from Claire’s knowledge base regarding clinical counselling and insightful understanding of EAP. I enjoyed a course taught by Claire that I participated in regarding EAP and the ongoing coaching support I have had, has been especially helpful in guiding me through the many challenges inherent in my role as an EAP clinical services provider".

"My name is Nikita Crook. I am a psychoanalytic psychotherapist and conflict mediator in private practice in West Vancouver. I have had the privilege of working with Claire in a number of settings and with a variety of different clients. We have co-mediated disputes with separated couples, I have done child assessments for her clients, we cross-refer therapy and consulting clients to one another, consult with each other on clinical case matters, and we participate in a variety of Collaborative Law forums & attend professional development seminars together. Despite our different backgrounds and theoretical orientations, I find Claire to be consistently professional, highly intelligent, compassionate, energetic & generous with her time, insightful, impeccably reliable, practical & goal oriented, and warm & funny, to top it all off. I consider her one of my most valued colleagues and it is always a rewarding and growthful experience working with her".
