therapy for burnout and exhaustion

tired in a way sleep does not fix.

counselling for the kind of exhaustion a weekend off does not touch. we work out where it is going, and rebuild at a pace you can actually hold.

  • no productivity plan
  • virtual across bc
  • sliding scale available
  • free 20-minute consult

you took the weekend off, but it doesn't help...

burnout is not a scheduling problem, which is why the stereotypical advice doesn't typically work here. it builds where effort and care go in for a long time and very little comes back, and it does not resolve by trying harder at resting.

  • running on empty and still going

    the tank has been empty for months. you are moving on obligation and adrenaline, and you can feel that it is not sustainable.

  • nothing lands anymore

    things you used to enjoy feel like admin. the flatness is not sadness exactly. it is more like the volume got turned down.

  • guilt about the exhaustion

    some part of you is convinced this is a discipline problem, and that other people manage. that belief is doing a lot of damage.

not a plan to optimise yourself.

most burnout advice is one more thing to be good at: a better morning routine, a better boundary script, a better you. i am not interested in that. we look at what has actually been draining you, including the parts that are structural rather than personal, and we work out what you can put down. sometimes the honest answer is that the situation is unreasonable, not that you are.

what working together looks like

nothing to prepare and nothing to prove. we begin with a conversation and let the pace follow from there.

we talk

a free 20-minute call. say what is going on in whatever order it comes out. no obligation either way.

we find the drain

we look at where the energy is actually going, and how much of it is load rather than lack of willpower.

we rebuild slowly

steadier ground, at a pace your nervous system can trust. not a sprint back to full capacity.

put it

you do not have to arrive with it solved. book a free consult and we can start with just saying it out loud.
