What we help with
Online therapy for stress and burnout
Stress is useful in short bursts. When it never lets up, the body stops recovering. Burnout is what happens next: deep exhaustion, feeling detached from work you once cared about, and a sense that nothing you do makes a difference.
Signs you might recognise
Therapy gives you a place to step back, understand what is draining you, and change what can be changed, including how you treat yourself.
Recognising yourself in a few of these does not mean something is wrong with you. It means it may be worth a conversation.
- Tired in a way that weekends and holidays do not fix
- Feeling cynical, numb or detached about work or caring duties
- Shorter temper than usual
- Headaches, tension or getting ill more often
- Unable to switch off in the evening
- Dreading the start of each week
How therapy helps
Your therapist will suggest an approach based on what you want to change. Common ones include:
- 1
Stress and boundary work
Map what is in your control, practise saying no, and renegotiate what is not working.
- 2
Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)
Reconnect with what matters to you and make choices that move toward it.
- 3
Recovery planning
Build rest, movement and connection back in, in a way that will hold up on a bad week.
Three things you can try today
- Protect one fully work-free block each day, however short.
- Write tomorrow’s three priorities before you close the laptop, then close it.
- Notice which tasks drain you and which give energy. The pattern is information.

Common questions
Is burnout a medical condition?
The World Health Organization describes burnout as an occupational phenomenon resulting from chronic workplace stress, not as a medical diagnosis. It is real, it can overlap with depression and anxiety, and it deserves proper support.
Can therapy help if my job is the problem?
Therapy cannot change your employer, but it can help you set boundaries, decide what to change, recover your energy and understand why you kept going past your limits.
How long does recovery from burnout take?
It depends on how long the strain has lasted and what can change. Many people notice a difference within weeks of making changes, while full recovery often takes months.
