Happy Clients

The research says

The work is hard.

High workloads, long hours, constant demands and tight deadlines can leave little room to think. Add low psychological safety and the emotional weight of distressed clients, family and children work, and it becomes much harder to keep going well.

59.1%

Nearly six in ten people in law reported poor mental wellbeing and high burnout risk.

78.7%

More than three quarters regularly work beyond contracted time, often by significant margins.

32.1%

Nearly a third can see themselves leaving the profession altogether within five years.

“Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space lies our power to choose. In our choice lies our growth.”

our CORE SERVICES

How We Help?

1:1 Therapeutic sessions

Psychotherapeutic support for individuals experiencing overwhelm or burnout. Delivered remotely, this offers timely, confidential support when someone is struggling and needs a space to think, feel and stabilise.

We accept direct referrals, and this service is also helpful for Managing Partners and HR leads who may need urgent interventions involving a presenting employee.

Wellbeing Training Programmes

Specialist training for legal professionals, delivered online or in person.

Topics include trauma-informed practice, stress and burnout, sleep, suicide awareness, working with distressed clients and difficult conversations, and Neurodiversity.

Therapeutic Supervision

1:1 & Small Groups

Therapeutic supervision for lawyers working with complex, emotionally demanding material or clients.

Monthly proactive sessions draw on reflective practice approaches and explore the impact of the work, perspective-shifting, emotional regulation, and exercises in compassionate inquiry.

We accept direct referrals and run firm-wide schemes for teams and divisions.

HOW IT WORKS

Don’t know where to start?

Initial Conversation

A short, confidential call to explore what is needed. No pressure, just a straightforward conversation about what support might help.

Tailored plan

If we decide to work together, we agree on an approach that fits your needs, whether that is short-term support, supervision, training or a wider team offer. Six-month pilot schemes can also be a useful starting point for firms and can offer useful KPI’s to review impact.

Ongoing support

We meet regularly online or in person, depending on the service. Support is shaped around the person, role or team, never delivered as a one-size-fits-all package.

A first conversation can help find out what support would make a difference to you or your team.

It All Starts With a Single Conversation

ABOUT KERRY LAWLOR

Who's Behind This.

I've spent many years working alongside lawyers, hearing first-hand what the job really asks of you and how little space there often is to talk about its impact.

Before setting up The Law Space, I worked in employee wellbeing and reflective practice across professional services, so I understand the culture, pace, and pressures many legal professionals navigate. I know you are not looking for jargon or generic resilience advice; you need somewhere honest, grounded and safe to bring the parts of the work you cannot share elsewhere.

I created The Law Space to offer exactly that: a calm, confidential space where legal professionals can pause, reflect, regroup and keep going in a way that is sustainable.

Our hand-picked team of therapists and supervisors extends that support, offering depth of experience, warmth and the importance of the right relational fit.

Thinking Well. Working Well. Serving Clients Well.

WHO we WORK WITH

You are in safe hands.

We work with individuals, firms and chambers who want a more meaningful approach to wellbeing. They recognise that if people are going to do demanding legal work well, they need protected space to process what the work requires of them.

TESTIMONIALS

What Our Clients Have To Say.

"One of the best investments Hall Brown Family Law ever made was bringing Kerry Slater on board. Kerry is available 24 hours a day, free and completely anonymous, because supporting our team's mental health has to be a top priority. Whilst most businesses are slashing discretionary spending, I'd urge fellow business owners to give mental health the importance it deserves."

Sam Hall

Hall Brown Family Law

“Kerry came into our offices to give a workshop on stress in the workplace. The workshop was insightful and we appreciated the compassionate approach that Kerry bought to the session. Kerry’s ability to listen attentively and create a safe, non-judgmental space has helped colleagues feel understood and supported with their mental health.”
