Burnout, Work Stress & Career Decisions in Demanding Roles
Support for professionals who feel depleted, stuck, or uncertain about their work.
I help you think clearly, make grounded decisions, and regain energy during periods of burnout and career uncertainty.
Why Work and Mental Health Belong Together
Most adults do not experience work and life as separate domains. When pressure builds at work, it affects how you think, respond, and relate to others. When something feels unsettled internally, it influences how you lead, perform, and make decisions.
In modern work, sustained output is often expected with limited opportunity for recovery. Over time, stress becomes normalized and harder to interrupt. You may notice reduced energy, slower thinking, irritability, or a drop in confidence, even while continuing to function and meet expectations.
This is where work stress and mental health intersect.
My role is to help you understand what is actually driving exhaustion, pressure, or uncertainty. That includes both internal patterns and external demands, and how they reinforce each other. From there, we focus on changes that improve functioning in ways that are realistic, sustainable, and aligned with the direction you want for your work and life.
The People I Work With
Many of the people I work with are in demanding roles. They are capable, thoughtful, and accustomed to functioning at a high level. What brings them in is not a lack of skill or motivation, but a growing sense that the strain they are under is no longer resolving with rest alone.
I work primarily with professionals in roles that carry sustained pressure, including finance and accounting, law, healthcare and mental health, corporate and technology environments, and leadership or management positions.
You may be experiencing:
constant pressure to perform and deliver
burnout that returns despite time off
difficulty maintaining boundaries with work or others
anxiety that interferes with focus, sleep, or decision-making
uncertainty about whether to stay, shift roles, or make a larger change
feeling disconnected from work that once felt meaningful
This work is for people who want support that recognizes the psychological load of modern work and helps them function more sustainably within it.
My Approach
I offer an integrated approach that supports your internal world and your professional direction.
Therapy focuses on the emotional patterns that contribute to overwhelm, self-doubt, or reactivity. We look at how stress is processed in the body, how your nervous system responds under pressure, and how long-standing patterns influence relationships and daily functioning.
Career counselling focuses on the external side: what is happening in your work life, what needs to shift, and what direction aligns with your strengths, values, and current season of life.
Together, these approaches give you a clear understanding of why things feel the way they do and what practical steps will move you forward. The aim is stronger daily functioning, more decisive thinking, and a path that remains workable over time.
In practice, these are not separate processes. We work with how internal patterns and external demands interact in real time.
You may come in feeling stretched thin, still functioning but at a cost that no longer feels sustainable.
With consistent support, you may begin to notice changes such as:
more grounded, confident decision-making
less pressure to overfunction or manage everything alone
clearer personal and professional boundaries
work that feels less consuming and more manageable
a stronger sense of direction
more energy and presence at work and in your life
The aim is not perfection or constant productivity. It is restoring capacity, reducing unnecessary strain, and making choices that support how you want to live and work over time.
