Getting started

- An expert report requires its own engagement and methodology.
A space to be heard during a difficult time
A separation, family conflict, accident or legal proceeding can cause distress and make everyday life difficult to manage. Lidia Núñez Brugiati offers psychological counseling and support focused on the individual's needs. The first conversation provides an opportunity to understand the situation and agree on whether the service is appropriate.
Preparing for conversations and decisions
This work can help you identify emotions, organize your concerns and develop ways to handle difficult conversations. It can also help you recognize what support you need outside the consultation. Its purpose is to promote well-being and a calmer approach to personal decisions, without determining the legal outcome.
Coordination with the legal team
Psychological care does not replace a lawyer's advice or mean that the psychologist directs the proceedings. If sharing information with the legal team would be useful, consent, purpose and limits are clarified. The person must understand the service they are receiving and how their information is protected in each setting.
Counseling, assessment and reports
Providing emotional support and conducting an expert assessment are different services. Requesting support does not automatically result in a report for use in court or establish a fact in the proceedings on its own. Any assessment or professional document requires its purpose, conditions and methodology to be defined before the engagement is accepted.
How to begin receiving support
You may seek a consultation on your own initiative or following a suggestion from the legal team. Availability, format and fees are coordinated. If a need falls outside the scope of the service, you should be referred to appropriate specialist care. In an immediate health or safety emergency, contact emergency services.

What is the purpose of psychological support during a legal matter?
It offers space to express your experience, identify your needs and receive guidance on coping. You can request it during an employment dispute, criminal case or accident claim, among other matters, without waiting for proceedings to end. Lidia Núñez Brugiati assesses appropriate support and agrees its objectives with you. Participation is voluntary; psychological guidance and legal work have different scopes. After an accident, medical care, evidence of damage and possible compensation are addressed with the professionals responsible for each area.
Do I need to be in crisis to request guidance?
You can consult whenever you need to talk or understand how the proceedings affect you. You need not wait until you feel overwhelmed. The initial conversation explores the support you seek and whether this service fits your needs.
How does the psychologist’s role differ from the lawyer’s?
The legal team examines rights, documents, options and procedural steps. The psychologist addresses emotional guidance and support within the agreed scope. Each professional maintains their role, and legal decisions are discussed with the lawyer responsible for your matter.
