Work should not cost
you everything.
Burnout is not a character flaw — it is the body's response to chronic overload. I help you understand what led to the breaking point and rebuild the balance between what you give and what you receive.
Signs of burnout
Burnout develops slowly. It usually starts with the feeling that "it will be fine" — taking on more tasks, ignoring limits, dismissing your body's signals. Many people reach out only when the body says "stop" — through illness, an accident, or a complete collapse.
How CBT therapy helps with burnout
In CBT for burnout we examine the beliefs that drive overload — perfectionism, difficulty saying no, the conviction that your worth depends on how much you produce. We work on rebuilding limits, a hierarchy of values, and recovery strategies.
This is not just about "learning to rest." It is about a fundamental shift in how you relate to work and to yourself. Burnout is often a signal that something important has been overlooked — and therapy is an excellent moment to discover what that is.
FAQ
Your questions answered
- How do I tell the difference between burnout and ordinary fatigue?
- Fatigue goes away with rest. Burnout is a chronic state — even after a holiday you return with the same emptiness, cynicism towards work, and reduced performance. Key symptoms include emotional exhaustion, depersonalisation (detachment from people and duties), and a sense that what you do is meaningless.
- Can a psychotherapist help with burnout?
- Yes. CBT therapy helps identify the beliefs and behaviour patterns that led to burnout — perfectionism, difficulty saying no, the conviction that your worth depends on your productivity. We also work on rebuilding boundaries, values, and a sense of meaning at work.
- Is burnout only a problem for managers?
- Absolutely not. Burnout affects all professions — teachers, doctors, nurses, IT workers, parents on parental leave. Wherever you consistently give more than you receive in return, the risk of burnout exists.
- Are evening sessions available?
- Yes. Online sessions are available on Tuesdays and Thursdays until 21:00 — you can attend after work without taking a day off.
