Trauma Sensitive Law was founded to bring contemporary legal practice into the modern age of trauma sensitivity, compassionate client care, and mental health awareness. To achieve these goals, we offer two kinds of service: CPD training and consulting services for legal practitioners, and individual Specialised Trauma and Resiliency Coaching services for anyone recovering from trauma.
CPD/Solicitor Training:
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. Legal practitioners and professional bodies can discover more about these services on our Workshops and Consulting page.
Private Trauma and Resiliency Coaching:
This service is similar to but distinct from private practice therapy. We offer Coaching services to individuals who are looking to recover from trauma or build resilience generally. Coaching clients can discover more about this service on our Trauma Coaching page on this website.

Our values are formulated around this concept, meaning that we seek to both embody and encourage resilience, accuracy, 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 alongside her work as a private Trauma and Resilience Coach, keynote speaker, and professional consultant. She is also an accredited Mental Health First Aid Instructor.
