New Year – new LegalMind

07/01/2025 10:58:01

January is an excellent time to kickstart your mental health and psychological fitness by embarking on a suite of subsidised psychotherapy sessions.

LegalMind is operated through the Law Society’s clinical partners at Clanwilliam Institute and is now offering a confidential counselling and psychotherapy service tailored to solictors. 

LegalMind designed for solicitors

A year ago, we successfully launched this enhanced member service in partnership with Clanwilliam Institute. LegalMind offers all solicitors easy access to six independent, subsidised, therapeutic sessions. These are designed to support and develop solicitors – both personally and professionally.

Visit LegalMind for details of this confidential support.

Why engage with LegalMind?  

We understand that legal practice is immensely demanding – and no one needs to wait until they are experiencing burn-out or a crisis to get the support they need. A psychologically well-resourced solicitor enjoys professional success that benefits themselves, their clients, and their legal workplaces, without compromising personal wellbeing. 

So, if you (or a colleague) are feeling curious about how to boost your psychological health, or you would like to acquire skills and insights that will support you personally, as you progress professionally, contact LegalMind. This service is also open to post-PPC trainee solicitors who are completing their office training. 

How to contact LegalMind

  • Email: legalmind@clanwilliam.ie

  • Telephone: 01 2055010 (normal rates apply)

  • Office hours for contacting LegalMind: Monday – Friday, 9am - 5pm

LegalMind will respond to all enquiries within two working days and will confirm the start date for the suite of therapeutic sessions within two weeks of that initial contact.

LegalMind is just one of many initiatives offered by Law Society Psychological Services aimed at optimising performance and instilling healthy cultural practices in the legal profession.
