Coming Autumn 2025: Staying Sane in Family Law

A Survival Guide for Lawyers Working in the Most Emotionally Charged Practice Area

Our founder, Annmarie’s debut book, Staying Sane in Family Law, is set for release on 30 September 2025 published by Bath Publishing. It’s a deeply practical and refreshingly honest guide for anyone in the family law world on how to navigate the emotional intensity of practice (with a big dollop of humour!). Family law asks a lot of lawyers - compassion, clarity, resilience, emotional control, and mental stamina. Burnout, vicarious trauma and overwhelm are often part of the job. This book helps you stay steady, human, and effective in the middle of it all. Inside, she shares:

  • Tools to protect your mental health
  • Strategies for building emotional resilience
  • Ways to keep boundaries with difficult or distressed clients
  • Real-world stories from the frontline (Annmarie's included)

Whether you’re just starting out or have decades of experience, this book will help you not just survive, but thrive in family law. Click here to come to a seminar (and get a free book!) - Attend the seminar

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to

your questions.

Got a question?
We’re here to help
What is therapeutic supervision/reflective practice? How is it different from therapy?

Our clients have psychologically demanding and high pressure jobs. Therapeutic supervision provides a supportive space to discuss the issues and situations that arise and the knock-on effect on you. All of our supervisors are qualified therapists and can talk things through with you on a deeper level, helping you to identify patterns and dynamics that you’d like to change. While not limited to talking about work, there is slightly more of a focus on professional life than in ‘regular’ therapy. At TCC we offer both individual and group therapeutic supervision.

What is the difference between therapy and coaching?

Coaching tends to be present and future focused whereas, in therapy, we delve into the background and history to identify the roots of behaviours and dynamics that may be bothering you today. At TCC we find some of our clients like an approach that combines both therapeutic and coaching techniques. A number of us work in that way and we can adapt to fit what is best for you!

Are sessions in person or online?

Our clients are busy people (and so are we!) and live across the UK and beyond. So we tend to find that online sessions work best for the vast majority of our clients. Having said that, we do see some of our clients in person at their firms in London.

Do you only work with lawyers?

No! While TCC’s roots are in the legal profession, you don’t have to be a lawyer to have therapy, coaching or training with us. We support business support professionals and those going through legal processes too. We also work with professionals from the financial services industry and other high-octane worlds.

How much do you charge?

Our fees depend on whether the service you require is coaching/therapy and whether we are working with a firm/organisation or an individual. We also offer preferential rates for charities. The best thing to do is to make an enquiry and talk to our support team and we can set it all out clearly!

Do you work with clients outside of the UK?

Yes, we are increasingly working with clients worldwide. Get in touch to find out more.

Will my insurance cover me?

As a specialist agency providing bespoke support, we do not currently work with insurance providers.
