    Trauma Sensitive Legal Practice

    Vicarious Trauma and Moral Injury

    Trauma Sensitive Legal Practice

    Our TSLP Workshop equips legal professionals from all specialties with tools to engage clients in a trauma-informed manner.  We cover scientific basics of psychological trauma, how trauma impacts clients and their experience in the legal process, and practical tools for solicitors, barristers, and support staff to best assist clients with trauma.

    Client-Focused Communication

    Vicarious Trauma and Moral Injury

    Trauma Sensitive Legal Practice

    The foremost cause of Lawcover claims continues to be communication breakdown between solicitors and clients.

    The foremost cause of Lawcover claims continues to be communication breakdown between solicitors and clients. We know that solicitors speak clearly and factually, packing those 6-minute increments with succinct information. We also know that clients will still report unclear or unmet expectations, breakdowns in instruction, and unexplained advice. Our Client-Focused Communication Workshop is based off of the preface that solicitors and clients speak different languages. To assist with overcoming that language barrier, we provide a practical framework of simple linguistic and communicative adjustments to help you feel confident and your clients feel heard. 

    Vicarious Trauma and Moral Injury

    Vicarious Trauma and Moral Injury

    Vicarious Trauma and Moral Injury

    Lawyers are often confronted with upsetting client realities, from graphic content and relatable, troubling narratives to facts and grievances that just feel plain "wrong" to solicitors. This can bring on symptoms of moral injury or vicarious trauma.  Our Vicarious Trauma and Moral Injury Workshop defines these psychological injuries in p

    Lawyers are often confronted with upsetting client realities, from graphic content and relatable, troubling narratives to facts and grievances that just feel plain "wrong" to solicitors. This can bring on symptoms of moral injury or vicarious trauma.  Our Vicarious Trauma and Moral Injury Workshop defines these psychological injuries in plain English and outlines their early warning signs, symptoms, and effects.  We then provide practical tools for prevention and management. 

    Lawyer Wellbeing & Resilience

    Substance Attachment and Coping Management

    Vicarious Trauma and Moral Injury

    From burnout and toxic stress to poor boundaries and low resilience, our Wellbeing Workshop outlines the common psychological stressors faced by legal professionals.  We then lay a framework for the prevention and correction of unhealthy coping mechanisms by providing practical tools for increasing and maintaining wellbeing and subjective life satisfaction. 

    Substance Attachment and Coping Management

    Substance Attachment and Coping Management

    Substance Attachment and Coping Management

    Law is an infamously demanding career field, reflected inter alia by the disproportionately high rates of substance use and problematic drinking habits reported by lawyers.  Our Substance Attachment and Coping Management Workshop outlines the science of unhealthy attachment before outlining a path to safer coping skills, self-regulation, and harm minimisation. 

    Lawyer Burnout

    Substance Attachment and Coping Management

    Substance Attachment and Coping Management

    The legal profession has an exceptionally high rate of attrition. Many legal professionals report unmanageable workload, high expectations of effort and demand matched with low rewards and minimal control over their duties, and more. Our Lawyer Burnout Workshop explains occupational burnout from an evidence-backed perspective and offers practicable steps to intervention and management.

    Trauma Sensitive Law was founded to bring contemporary legal practice into the modern age of trauma sensitivity, compassionate client care, and mental health awareness. The justice system is rife with unresolved trauma and mental health difficulty; we see it in our clients' personal backgrounds, in our own lives and coping behaviours, and at multiple stages of the legal process itself. Awareness of the science behind trauma and its impact on client behaviour and satisfaction allows legal practitioners to go beyond contracted advocacy and become a source of safe, engaged, healing justice for our clients. By educating ourselves on mental health and its role in the legal process, we can also better maintain our own wellbeing. We provide professional trainings and workshops that have been co-developed by legal and mental health professionals which equip lawyers with tools to achieve this holistic method of self- and client-care.

    Our Values

    About Our Founder

    What We Do

    Trauma Sensitive Law believes that the best outcomes -- both legal and personal -- are made possible when both practitioners and clients are able to feel calm, committed, and in-control throughout their collaboration on a matter. Our values are formulated around this concept, meaning that we seek to both embody and encourage reliability, intentionality, attunement, and genuine understanding.

    Anna Fischer, BA. Psychology and Sociology, JD & GDLP (est 2025) founded Trauma Sensitive Law in 2024. After completing a dual-major Bachelor of Psychology and Sociology in 2021, Anna originally intended to obtain a professional doctorate in psychology and pursue a career as a clinical trauma specialist. However, while completing post-graduate training in trauma specialisation, she encountered traumatic medical negligence. This experience compelled her to change careers and become an advocate for vulnerable persons in the legal system. She began to pursue a Doctor of Law (JD) and has since dedicated herself to mastering the intersection between mental health and law, developing particular expertise in trauma-informed legal practice, lawyer wellbeing and resilience, moral injury, and vicarious trauma. Anna now works as a Wellbeing Manager for NSW solicitors, a keynote speaker, a professional consultant, and a guest lecturer. She is also an accredited Mental Health First Aid Instructor and will soon have international accreditation as a Trauma and Resilience Coach. She continues to develop and deliver trainings for professional bodies of solicitors in NSW and has been published by Thompson Reuters on Restorative Justice, Youth Sentencing, Culturally Informed Sentencing.
