Empowering Lawyers to Transform their Stress Response, Increase Resilience and Rapidly Recharge
Effective, Easy to Implement, Time Efficient, Research Backed
Based in London, with clients from every strata and sector of the UK and international legal professions, we specialise in providing confidential advice, coaching and training on how to survive and thrive in todays increasingly relentless, always on - always connected, legal environment.
Whether you’re a solicitor, barrister or judge, our combined 30+ years experience of legal practice and coaching lawyers and judges means we have a deep, real world understanding of the daily challenges you face and their short term and long term adverse consequences.
Designed For Lawyers and Judges by Lawyers and Stress Experts
Our advice and coaching is targeted to the unique stresses and pressures experienced by lawyers and judges. Long hours, tight deadlines, high stakes, too much or not enough work, billing targets, demanding clients and judges, always ‘being on’ and connected, financial pressures and a lack of quality sleep are just some of the common factors reflected by the reported increase in stress, anxiety and burnout.
Our solution focused approach is modelled on that used by elite athletes and Tier 1 military (SAS / Navy SEALs / Delta), since lawyers and judges also operate under extreme pressures with high stakes consequences.
Real Time Tools with Measurable and Sustainable Results
Our research backed, practical solutions provide real time, measurable and sustainable results that will help you :
Better regulate your emotions including frustration and anxiety.
Go into a hearing or meeting feel alert, calm and in control.
Shift from an acute state of stress into recharge and recovery mode in minutes;
Remain focused and centered when hearings or meetings unexpectedly go off the rails;
Avoid chronic stress and burnout.
Quickly recharge and recover after a demanding situation.
Build resilience.
Burn Bright, Not Out.
Whilst great strides have been taken to raise awareness and offer solutions to the challenges of stress and burnout, many lawyers and judges continue to suffer in silence because of a fear of being considered ‘weak’ and unfit to sit or practice or because of the long term results horizon associated with traditional stress management solutions.
Findings by recent surveys include 71% of 3000 lawyers reporting anxiety, 92% of lawyers experiencing episodes of work related stress or burnout with 83% experiencing regular stress and less than 25% feeling supported (YouGov) . In terms of judges, findings reported in the Judicial Wellbeing Survey (2021) include 45% of judges reporting mental symptoms of stress and 48% reporting behavioural symptoms.
This is Not Therapy, Medication or Meditation
Conversations and therapy have a very important place in the field of stress management. Our focus, however, is on empowering our clients with tools and strategies that can be used as and when needed, for every stress related situation or issue.
Using the latest findings from Neuroscience and the fields of Stress Management and Resilience, we introduce our clients to the most advanced, effective, research backed strategies, tools and techniques, many of which are used by elite performers including Tier 1 Military (SAS, Navy SEAL’s) and Olympic athletes.
Stress Less, Feel Good, Perform Optimally
We recognise that ‘one size does not fit all’ and that individuals require and respond to different solutions depending on the nature, timing and context of the stress they are facing. For this reason we draw upon a range of science backed tools and strategies including:
Emotional regulation techniques.
Breathwork practices including those used by special forces.
Technology that monitors, measures and modulates the stress response.
HeartMath
Mindset techniques.
Neuro-Linguistic Programming.
Mental performance strategies used by elite military and athletes.
Confidential, Experienced and Approachable
We bring extensive legal and coaching experience, professionalism and confidentiality to every client engagement. We customise our advice, coaching and support to your individual needs and concerns.
