About LegalPsych
We provide top quality psychological support to people going though a legal case and for legal professionals.
“I understand how stressful and draining a legal case is…”
Founder, Mark Bellamy
“As the founder, I've personally faced the draining and impactful nature of a legal case. I was surprised by the lack of specialized psychological support available, so I decided to create a service to ensure that those going through a legal process could be well supported.”
“I also became aware of the high workload and stress levels that legal professionals endure, and realized that both clients and legal professionals needed this service. This decision was not made lightly; it comes after 25 years of supporting high performers in elite sports, the military, the arts, business, and legal cases. The inherent value of this venture is clear to me.”
“Most people have a threshold of stress before they begin to malfunction, and a legal case is a prime example of an event that can stretch one's capacity to the limit. Legal cases do not occur in a vacuum; they happen within the context of daily life and all that contains. We are here to support our clients through and beyond the potentially massive impact of a legal case.”
“For many adults, a legal case is the closest they will come to a fight. It may not be fought with fists, but it can be highly adversarial. I understand how stressful and draining this is, whether you are a client or a legal professional.”
