Burnout
Psychotherapy for Burnout
For women who have kept going for so long that exhaustion has started to feel normal.
You might recognise
- Feeling tired in a way rest does not seem to fix
- Losing interest in things you once enjoyed
- Irritability, numbness or feeling detached
- A sense that you cannot stop, even when you want to
More than working too hard
Burnout is rarely just about workload. It often grows from deeper patterns: needing to be reliable, finding it hard to say no, or feeling worthwhile only when you are useful.
Understanding why stopping feels so hard
In therapy we explore what keeps you pushing, where those patterns began, and what it might mean to have needs of your own. This is not about a quick fix, but about understanding yourself more deeply.

What may sit beneath it
For some women, the pressure is connected with getting everything right, putting others first, feeling like an imposter or never feeling enough. There is no single explanation, but you may recognise something of yourself here.
