Therapy for Lawyers

Now supporting legal professionals and their clients

The Practice offers specialized full therapeutic service for legal professionals.  We recognise the extreme pressures our legal professionals and their clients are facing today. The external challenges driving economic uncertainty coupled with cost cutting are all contributing factors manifesting in increased stress levels. In a sector where long hours, an unrelenting workload and high expectations are the norm our psychological equilibrium is often a casualty.

This is only compounded by a working environment where the need to be seen to professionally perform has led to a highly pressurised work place. Pressure to appear in control and on top of the game can lead to people masking up inside they are struggling. The impact on emotional health can be felt not just by the individuals but on families and loved ones, as well.

The Practice is experiencing a higher demand from lawyers coming to us with anxiety disorders, stress, depression and addictions. Our highly skilled professional team of therapists also includes lawyers who have re-trained to become therapists adding an increased insight into the difficulties associated with this profession. Supported by our specialist practitioners and life coaches, we have the skills and experience to uniquely support this group.
