Wellbeing

Wellbeing in law, and for good.

Our story

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it … right? Traditional wellbeing initiatives often work well in the short term. We think you deserve better.

We’re a team of specialists who have worked as lawyers and legal staff, or extensively with them. We know the pressures of daily legal life make it difficult to prioritise wellbeing. And the stigma around mental health and accessing support still prevents over 40% of legal professionals from seeking the help they need, when they need it.

We’ve seen the smooth sailing façade work … until it doesn’t. Crisis support is essential. So is industry-specialised support that addresses the individual, cultural, and systemic elements that undermine wellbeing.

That’s where we come in because wellbeing is up to us – all of us. Honesty, transparency, shared vision, and collective action are key. And yoga is great, but … we don’t do set-and-forget wellbeing care. Support For Lawyers is your true, collaborative partner, helping you to remove barriers and integrate wellbeing into daily rhythms, behaviours, and priorities. We share the vision with progressive individuals, law firms, and industry leaders to normalise wellbeing and support so it becomes as common, and important, as monthly billing. And genuine, sustainable wellbeing is the strategic foundation that makes people and businesses thrive.

Admitted to legal practice in 1982, I’ve experienced my share of professional challenges. I've read the literature and discussed the cultural, organisational, and systemic challenges legal professionals face with global industry leaders. Too often, wellbeing services pay lip service at best, and I’ve witnessed the harmful impacts of this. Wellbeing in law needs to change – because we all deserve better.

I completed my PhD at Cambridge and have since worked extensively as a consulting psychologist with legal professionals. I’m proud to work with Support For Lawyers, caring for individuals whilst also striving for industry-wide change. We’re helping remove barriers to care, changing perceptions about needing and accessing support, and building a healthier, happier, and more resilient workforce.
