Getting started
Key points
- Support is voluntary.
- The psychologist and the lawyer have different professional roles.
- Counseling can help you cope with stress and difficult decisions.
- 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.
