What people tell us most often, and what we would work on together.
We start by helping your body calm down, with sleep, small breaks and ways to settle, before asking anything more of you.
We look at what makes it hard to stop or say no, and practise setting limits at work and at home without feeling so guilty afterwards.
Patients, students, clients or family all day. This is an hour for you, to work with what you carry home.
Brain fog, snapping at people, headaches and tension. We look at what is behind them and what would help.
They often overlap. We work with both, and we will tell you if we think you should also see your family doctor.
It is easier to decide when you are less exhausted, and we can think it through with you.
Burnout often starts as anxiety: worry that will not switch off, and running on adrenaline to stay ahead of everything. You do not have to wait until you hit bottom to reach out.
If you are having thoughts of harming yourself or not wanting to be here, please reach out right away, call or text 988 (Suicide Crisis Helpline) or 911.

How we work
We start small. Early sessions focus on rest and taking some pressure off, then we look at what has been wearing you out: the workload, caring for others, and the expectations you put on yourself. Depending on what fits you, we draw on CBT, ACT, behavioural activation, grounding, and work on the harsh inner voice that calls you lazy or weak. There is no homework you have to perform.
Phone or video. Share as much or as little as you have energy for.
The first sessions focus on rest and taking some of the load off.
The patterns, pressures and beliefs underneath, at a pace you can keep.
