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 will help you identify and change difficult dynamics in your work and rediscover the meaning in what you do.
At TCC we are at the forefront of the movement to bring therapeutic supervision (or reflective practice) to the legal profession and other fast-paced industries.
We believe that those who have high-pressure and psychologically demanding careers deserve the best support to discuss their work and the knock-on effect on them, including stress and vicarious trauma.
Our supervisors provide this essential service for our clients who range from family lawyers to criminal, clinical negligence, injury and immigration specialists.
Our supervisors are all 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.
We work closely with law firms, chambers and charities, offering both individual and group supervision. We wholeheartedly recommend this vital mental health maintenance service to those in the legal profession and beyond.
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.
