Online Therapy for Burnout
Persistent exhaustion is not a personal failure. It often shows that demands, inner pressure and available energy have been out of balance for too long.
Possible signs
When recovery no longer happens
- Exhaustion that does not improve with rest
- Irritability, detachment or emotional numbness
- Loss of concentration and effectiveness
- Sleep problems and constant tension
- Guilt when resting or setting limits
- Feeling trapped between responsibility and depletion
Understanding the difficulty
Making sense of the pattern
Burnout rarely has one cause. External demands, responsibility, perfectionism, conflict and learned beliefs about performance can combine until the usual ways of coping no longer work.
Therapeutic work
How we can work together
We identify the pressures that can change and the internal rules that keep them in place. The work connects immediate stabilisation with clearer boundaries, realistic priorities and more sustainable patterns.
Possible areas of focus
Recognise warning signs and limits
Reduce perfectionistic pressure
Clarify boundaries and priorities
Build sustainable recovery routines
Frequently asked questions
What you may want to know.
Is burnout the same as depression?
They can overlap, but they are not identical. We look carefully at symptoms and context and discuss whether medical or psychiatric assessment is advisable.
Do I have to take leave from work?
That depends on severity and your circumstances. I do not make employment decisions for you, but we can assess strain and prepare a realistic conversation with your doctor or employer.
