Stress & Burnout Counselling
When you've been running on empty for too long, rest alone doesn't always fix it. Counselling can help you understand what's draining you and build a way of living that's more sustainable.
- $160 / 50-minute session
- In person or online across BC
Signs you might be burning out
- You're exhausted even after rest or time off
- You feel detached, numb or cynical about work or caregiving
- You have a shorter fuse with the people you love
- Concentrating and making decisions feel harder than they used to
- You start dreading the week before the weekend is over
- Your sleep, appetite or body are showing the strain
How counselling helps
We start by understanding what's driving your stress - the demands on you, the expectations you carry, and the patterns that keep you pushing past empty. From there, we build practical tools:
- Calming your nervous system with somatic and mindfulness practices
- Setting boundaries and reconnecting with your values
- Shifting unhelpful thinking patterns with CBT
- Getting curious about the inner critic and the "parts" of you that keep pushing
Life transitions and self-esteem
Stress often peaks during big changes - a new role, a loss, a relationship shift - or when your sense of worth has become tied to doing more. Counselling can help you find steadier ground.
Common questions
Is burnout the same as depression?
They can overlap and feel similar. Counselling can help you sort out what's going on. If you're concerned about your physical or mental health, it's also worth checking in with your doctor.
Can I do burnout counselling online?
Yes. Online sessions are available anywhere in British Columbia, which can be easier when energy and time are short.
