Burnout doesn’t always look like collapse. Often it looks like functioning — but feeling flat, resentful, disconnected, or constantly on edge. You might still be achieving, but it costs you.

Burnout commonly shows up in high-achieving people-pleasers who have spent years pushing through, prioritising others, or ignoring early signs of stress.

Burnout may look like:

• Emotional exhaustion or numbness

• Difficulty resting or switching off

• Irritability, anxiety, or brain fog

• Feeling trapped by responsibility

How therapy may help
Therapy can support you to understand how burnout developed, identify the patterns keeping it in place, and explore ways to restore capacity without forcing drastic life changes. We’ll focus on boundaries, nervous system regulation, and values-aligned choices — not just “coping better.”

Sessions are trauma-informed, collaborative, and paced to avoid adding more pressure.
