Build clarity and confidence when therapy meets the legal system.

Working with clients in contact with the legal system can stretch every aspect of your practice. Questions of confidentiality, responsibility, and professional boundaries become more complex, while the emotional impact of legal involvement can shape what unfolds in the therapy room.

This conference offers a focused space to deepen your understanding and strengthen your confidence in this area of work.

You will explore:

• Your role as a therapist within intersecting therapeutic and legal systems

• Key legal frameworks and guidance to support ethical, informed practice

• The impact of legal processes on clients’ mental health and engagement in therapy

• The realities of working alongside legal professionals, including when and how to set boundaries

Legal systems carry significant power, and these dynamics can surface in therapy in ways that echo disempowerment, silencing, and injustice. For practitioners and clients from marginalised communities, this impact can be even more pronounced.

Through a range of perspectives, this conference supports you to reflect, think critically, and take practical insights back into your clinical work.

Who is this for?

Therapists, counsellors, and mental health professionals who want to work more confidently and ethically where therapy and the law intersect.

Please note that all speakers are based in England, and some content will refer specifically to the legal system in England and Wales.

Secure your place and build the confidence to work more effectively at this complex intersection.
