Is counselling for me?

Counselling can support people experiencing burnout — a pattern of chronic stress, exhaustion, and feeling overwhelmed that doesn’t resolve with rest alone

When Burnout Is Your Main Concern

Some people think they need a psychological diagnosis to work on burnout. Not always.

  • Counsellors focus on lived experience and practical support — helping you understand burnout, rebuild balance, and restore wellbeing.

  • Psychologists may be recommended if there are underlying mental health diagnoses that require assessment or formal treatment.

Both roles are valuable — what matters most is whether the approach feels safe, supportive, and right for your experience.

A counsellor’s goal is to:

  • Empower and equip you with healthy coping skills you can use outside the session.

  • Support you through challenges with compassion.

  • Offer education and strategies to strengthen your everyday relationships.

  • Help you recognise and reframe negative thinking patterns, so they no longer hold you back.

Counselling is

  • A safe, confidential space to explore thoughts, feelings, and patterns.

  • A collaborative process where we work together toward your goals.

  • A place to gain insight, build resilience, and learn practical tools.

  • A supportive, non-judgmental environment.

Counselling is NOT:

  • Someone telling you what to do or giving quick fixes.

  • Just chatting with a friend or venting without direction.

  • Always easy — it can bring up difficult feelings (part of growth).

What to Expect
