Alice Haddon and Ruth Field

In 2020, Alice Haddon and Ruth Field came together to develop an alternative offering to the traditional 50-minute therapy session, which became a wellness retreat designed for women known as The Heartbreak Hotel. Alice is a licensed counselling psychologist with more than 25 years of experience in private and public practice. Her writing has been featured in ‘The Times’, ‘Harper’s Bazaar’ and HuffPost. Ruth is a former criminal barrister who began life-coaching and has written multiple self-help books. Now, in 2024, they have used their expertise from decades of writing and helping others to co-author a non-fiction work inspired by their real life retreat. ‘Finding Your Self at the Heartbreak Hotel’ provides readers with therapeutic tools to help find confidence and overcome rumination.
