Burnout and stress symptoms

Work can be the source of a lot of stress. Other parts of your life can also be stressful; and then there’s keeping them all balanced…

 

Are you experiencing any of these symptoms?


  • Unwillingness to (go to) work

  • Underperformance at work

  • Constantly feeling disconnected, exhausted, and unmotivated

  • Difficulties concentrating, completing your daily tasks, or being creative

  • Procrastination

  • Nervousness and/or irritability that affects your personal life and relationships with other people

Stress can be a good thing in life, but when there’s too much of it, you need to act. It won’t go away on its own. And this is where my role begins.

How burnout/stress therapy can help


start burnout/stress therapy

Stress and burnout therapy will support you in managing stress (both work and non-work-related). The goal is to help you restore balance in your life and feel less overwhelmed with work or other stressful situations (especially balancing different responsibilities – work, children, relationships, family…).

Therapy will help you focus on the things that really matter so that you can find stability and start enjoying life again. As a counsellor, I understand how burnout and stress can take a toll on every aspect of your life. Together, we can work on developing practical strategies to manage your stress and find relief from the pressures that drag you down.

 

Through our sessions, you'll gain tools to cope with daily challenges, rebuild your energy, and rediscover joy in life. My goal is to help you feel more in control of what’s going on in your life so you can thrive personally and professionally. I'm here to help you every step of the way.
