Dr Catherine Sykes
Psychological Advisor to High-Performing Lawyers
I work with high-performing lawyers who are used to holding it all together, but under pressure find themselves over-preparing, questioning decisions and themselves, and carrying a level of mental load that never quite switches off.
Left unaddressed, this shapes both performance and the experience of work and life.
I help them change how they operate under pressure so their authority and performance are consistent, they feel clearer, more in charge, physically more at ease, able to switch off when it matters, and strengthen the relationships that matter.
