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:

We support high-octane organisations create healthy cultures, taking their people from high-pressured to happy.
We know how the legal industry ticks. We’ve worked with thousands of lawyers and business support professionals. From partners to paralegals, HR directors to trainees, we’ve established long-lasting and trusting relationships.
We see similar patterns and dynamics across organisations time and time again. Communication difficulties, lack of psychological safety, delegation and supervision dilemmas, lack of trust and low morale, amongst many others.
Through our business support service, we are a trusted confidante and advisor to many organisations, particularly those in the legal world, offering practical advice and a perspective borne of our years of experience across the market.
Examples of our services include:
At TCC, we offer both coaching and therapy, each with its unique focus. Coaching is future-oriented, helping you set and achieve concrete goals, while therapy/counselling addresses deeper emotional or psychological challenges. Our coaching approach is deep and integrates emotional intelligence; crucial for a successful legal/professional career.
The legal profession is constantly evolving. Our coaching helps lawyers adapt to changes such as transitioning into leadership, managing new responsibilities, or adapting to new roles within their firm. Whether you’re moving into management or adjusting to a new position, our coaching can help smooth the transition and foster long-term success.
We are all high-achieving professionals who have re-trained as therapists and coaches so we can help those in high-pressure industries to be at their best.
We've won no less than eight awards since we set up in 2018 for our innovation, client service and the support we provide to those in fast-paced worlds.
Our specialist coaching approach is informed by our own experiences of management, business and life in the law.
You can be sure that we will maintain the highest levels of discretion and confidentiality. This is fundamental to our ethics and the way we work.
Whether in a training, therapeutic or coaching context, our clients are happy with our services. Check out our testimonials if you don't believe us!st.
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!
In my previous life, I was a family lawyer and mediator at Farrer & Co,
one of the top London law firms, for over a decade.
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.
