This page offers a sense of common experiences of burnout and overwork, and how counselling can support you when life feels heavy or unrelenting.
Burnout is more than tiredness. It’s a persistent exhaustion that seeps into motivation, meaning, and your sense of self. Many people, especially those who are responsible and high-functioning, live under constant pressure to perform. Over time, this can leave you feeling depleted and disconnected.
Common experiences include:
Struggling to say no, set boundaries, or slow the pace
Feeling chronically drained even after rest
Losing meaning or satisfaction in daily life
Anxiety or irritability tied to workload and obligations
Productivity replacing a deeper sense of purpose
Fear that slowing down will lead to failure or disappointment
Counselling here is about noticing what has been lost in the busyness and understanding what drives the overwork. Together, we explore ways to reclaim energy, engagement, and a more sustainable rhythm of living.
If any of this resonates, you’re welcome to explore my approach further or consider a free initial conversation to see if this support feels right for you.
