In this episode, Cate speaks to Wendy Sullivan and Paul Field about Clean Language, a process and set of questions developed by counselling psychologist David Grove. They explore the simple art of Clean Language and how it helps people to go deep into themselves and find the richness of their own metaphors, words and sensations that become resources for their lives.

Wendy Sullivan is a Clean Language Trainer, Psychotherapist, Coach and Coach Supervisor. She has worked in the field of Clean Language and Symbolic Modelling for around 20 years and is one of the most experienced trainers in the field. As well as training others to use Clean Language, she uses it herself when working as a coach or psychotherapist, facilitating teams and working with all sizes of organisations and businesses.

Dr Paul Field is a certified Clean Facilitator, Clean Trainer and Clean Assessor. He’s a speaker at international conferences and innovator of new techniques in Clean Language, including Modeller’s Mind, Embodied Clean, The Binds Process and Persona Modelling. He has a specialist practice using Clean, embodiment, bodywork and trauma-informed approaches to help women reconnect to their bodies and sexuality, particularly after sexual or emotional trauma.
