Testimonials
“ Claire Sutton is the best counsellor I have had…and several friends that I have sent would agree. She is particularly good at helping men ‘calibrate themselves’ in this confused world of masculine and feminine counter currents. She gets you sorted out quickly…no months of Freudian introspection…and I found myself benefiting for months and even years later.”

“In this booklet, Claire Sutton highlights a comprehensive and holistic approach to managing a counselling career, guiding new professionals to effectively integrate work responsibilities with their other important life roles. I particularly appreciated Claire’s pragmatic focus on short term goals and specific action steps, without losing sight of a longer term career vision. Claire’s rich experience and leadership in the field shines throughout this booklet – readers will feel like they’ve had a private coaching session with a professional who really understands the diverse work within the counselling field. A must read for new counselling professionals, I’d also highly recommend this booklet to other counsellors who are feeling stuck or overwhelmed in their careers and ready to make some changes.” (Booklet: Launching Your Counselling career)

“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”.

“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.”
