A practical webinar with Dr Catherine Sykes
Many high-performing lawyers don’t burn out because they lack resilience. They burn out because the psychological systems that support sustainable performance quietly erode under chronic pressure.
In this practical webinar, Dr Catherine Sykes, Psychologist and Coach, introduces her SANE model – a psychologically grounded framework that helps lawyers understand what supports long-term well-being, confidence and high performance in demanding legal environments.
SANE stands for Safety, Agency, Narrative and Emotional Flexibility – four core capacities that enable legal professionals to think clearly under pressure, establish healthy boundaries, challenge unhelpful patterns such as perfectionism and respond constructively to challenge and uncertainty. The model is based on practical psychology rather than mindset hacks or quick-fix wellbeing advice.
