Work Stress & Burnout Therapy
Burnout isn't laziness. It's what happens when you've given too much for too long.

Burnout shows up in three ways: emotional exhaustion—you're drained before the day even starts. Cynicism—you've stopped caring about work that used to matter to you. And a reduced sense of accomplishment—no matter how much you do, it never feels like enough.
Maybe you're dragging yourself through each week, counting down to Friday. Maybe you're snapping at people you care about because you have nothing left. Maybe you've started to wonder if something is seriously wrong with you.
Nothing is wrong with you. You've been operating beyond your capacity for too long, and your mind and body are telling you something has to change. Therapy helps you figure out what that change looks like—and how to make it happen without blowing up your life.
How Therapy Helps
Identify Burnout Patterns
Understand what drove you here—the beliefs, habits, and workplace dynamics that created unsustainable patterns.
Set Healthy Boundaries
Learn to say no without guilt. Build boundaries that protect your energy without derailing your career.
Recover Purpose & Meaning
Reconnect with what matters to you beyond productivity. Rediscover motivation that doesn't come from fear or obligation.
Prevent Relapse
Build sustainable habits and early warning systems so you don't end up back here. Recovery isn't just about feeling better—it's about staying better.
Our Approach
We use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you reconnect with your values—the things that give your work and life meaning beyond just getting through the day. When you're burned out, you've often lost sight of why you started. ACT helps you find that again.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) addresses the thought patterns that keep you stuck—perfectionism, people-pleasing, the belief that your worth equals your output. We challenge these patterns directly and replace them with ones that serve you.
Mindfulness-based approaches help you slow down enough to actually hear what your mind and body are telling you. Burnout thrives on autopilot. Recovery starts with awareness.
