Burnout counselling may help if you experience:
- Emotional exhaustion or feeling depleted
- Reduced motivation or performance at work
- Feeling detached, numb, or cynical
- Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
- Work-life imbalance and difficulty switching off
You don’t need to be in crisis to seek counselling. Many people attend therapy to better understand what’s happening and to develop healthier ways of coping.
How counselling can help with burnout
- Recover from exhaustion and rebuild capacity
- Clarify boundaries, workload, and expectations
- Address perfectionism and people-pleasing patterns
- Develop sustainable routines and coping strategies
Therapists may use approaches such as CBT, integrative counselling, psychodynamic therapy, or mindfulness-based techniques, depending on your needs.
What happens in your first session
- Talk through what’s been happening for you
- Discuss what support you’re looking for
- Ask questions about counselling and next steps
There is no obligation to continue. Finding the right therapist matters.
