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

Meet the founder

I’m Annmarie Carvalho, author, trainer, therapist, coach & therapeutic supervisor

41f273959bf798d1b080487017a8e14d963a0769

I am the founder of TCC and set up the agency in 2018 to
help lawyers and other professionals to go from highly
pressured to happy!

Having realised I was more interested in the relationships than the law I retrained as a therapist and set about trying to bring psychological understanding to high-pressured environments like the world of law. And so TCC was born!

Working on complicated divorce and finances cases and difficult disputes over children gave me crucial insight into how to manage tricky relationships and how to operate at the highest level in stressful situations.

I wanted to set up an agency made up of therapists and coaches, all who have worked at the highest echelons in their professions.
