Family law is fascinating but it’s also full-on. It’s immersive, it’s tumultuous and the emotional demands can take a toll.
So why not give yourself a shot of inspiration on how to cope with the pressures from the ultimate insider in family law, solicitor turned award-winning therapist, Annmarie Carvalho?
She will lead you on a lively, interactive whistle stop tour of everything you need to know to stay sane in family law, guiding you through:

Fascinating concepts from the world of psychology and neuroscience to help you understand your clients (and yourself!) better;
-
Ground-breaking therapeutic techniques on working ethically with the emotional, the vulnerable and the downright angry;
-
How to be a trauma-informed practitioner;
-
Real-life case studies on subjects such as attachment/co-dependency, addiction, mental health disorders and neurodiversity; and
-
Sanity saving tools to help you stay grounded in this topsy turvy world of family law
Peppered with stories from the real world, laughter and Annmarie’s own experiences, this is a must for anyone seeking to understand themselves and others better while preserving their own well-being.
