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 out now! Click here to buy the book. 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

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs About
Who We Work With

Got a question?
We’re here to help
Who does TCC work with?

We work with professionals in high-pressure, high-performance roles, particularly within the legal and financial sectors. Our clients include solicitors, barristers, partners, associates, general counsel, HR leaders, and business services professionals, as well as those in banking, investment, accountancy, and wealth management.

Do I need to work in law to access your services?

Not at all. While our roots are in the legal sector, our work naturally extends to other demanding industries such as finance, consulting, and professional services. If your role involves responsibility, performance pressure, or decision-making that impacts others, you’re in the right place.

What types of support do you offer?

We provide therapy, coaching, training, and reflective supervision. This includes one-to-one therapeutic support, leadership and resilience coaching, team wellbeing and communication training, and confidential supervision sessions for professionals working with emotionally complex issues.

How is TCC different from other therapy or coaching providers?

Our team comprises former lawyers and professionals who have worked in the same environments as our clients. We combine clinical and coaching expertise with genuine industry insight, meaning we understand the culture, pressures, and expectations from the inside.

Can TCC work directly with my firm or organisation?

Yes. We partner with law firms, chambers, and financial organisations to deliver in-house wellbeing programmes, reflective supervision, and tailored training. Our organisational work focuses on building psychologically safe, high-performing cultures where people can thrive.

How do sessions work, and how do I get started?

Most sessions take place online via Zoom, allowing flexibility around your workload and time zone. You can book directly through our website or contact us to discuss the type of support that best fits your needs, whether that’s individual therapy, team training, or organisational consultancy.
