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:

We provide specialist therapeutic services to people in high-pressure environments. Whether it's work or home issues on your mind (or both!), we're here to support you.
At TCC, we are renowned for our bespoke therapeutic support for lawyers and others working in high-stakes, fast-paced environments. Our motto - “because we’ve walked in your shoes” - isn’t just a tagline. We’ve all worked in such environments ourselves and we understand the unique pressures, culture and demands of your world.
We know that working in these sectors requires resilience, precision, and performance - often at the cost of your own wellbeing. That’s why we’ve built a practice around supporting professionals like you, with the empathy and expertise that come from lived experience.
While each of our therapists brings a different style and specialism, we’re united by one mission: to provide exceptional support to those whose careers leave little room to ask for help.
We love what we do, we love working with each other, and most of all we love earning the trust of professionals like you. So let us help you go from highly pressured to happy!
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.
Most of us are former lawyers and we've all worked at the highest levels of professional services. We specialise in helping those in high-pressure professions 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!
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.
