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:

Whether you’re looking for therapy to help you maintain a happy relationship or you're considering separation and would like to talk things over with a trusted professional, we are here to help.
At TCC, we are a trusted friend to the legal profession and have strong foundations in particular in the world of family law. As such, we provide couple therapy to many people who are contemplating or in the process of separating. We find that understanding the legal processes as we do is hugely helpful and reassuring for such clients.
We also work with many couples who are not considering separation but would like to come to therapy as maintenance for their relationship; to aid communication, to pre-empt any challenges and to improve rapport. At TCC we believe every couple can benefit from such support. As our specialist couple therapist, Tim Rice, says “it’s better to talk”.
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.

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.
