Therapy for Burnout
Burnout and Work Stress, online with Avinii Taneja, Counselling Psychologist.
Yes, therapy can help with burnout. It gives you space to understand how you got here, rebuild rest, and set boundaries that hold. With Avinii you also look at the patterns underneath, like perfectionism or saying yes to everything, so you do not end up back in the same place.
What It Can Feel Like
Running on Empty
Tired in a way sleep and weekends no longer fix.
Dreading Mondays
A heavy feeling that starts on Sunday evening.
Feeling Detached
Going through the motions, caring less about work you once liked.
Short Fuse
Snapping at people you love, then feeling guilty.
Foggy Focus
Forgetting things, rereading emails, slower than usual.
No Time for You
Hobbies, friends and rest keep slipping off the list.
What Sessions Focus On
All of the work is trauma-informed and paced by you. Sessions are a place for support and exploration, not promises or quick fixes.
Naming What Drains You
We map the load, the expectations and the beliefs, such as "I must never let anyone down", that keep you pushing.
Boundaries That Hold
Practical scripts and small experiments for saying no, asking for help and protecting your time.
Real Rest
Mindfulness and body-based work to help your system switch off, not just pause.
Burnout: Common Questions
Can therapy help with burnout?+
Yes. Therapy helps you recover energy, set boundaries and change the habits that led to burnout, so the changes last after a holiday ends.
Is burnout the same as depression?+
Not always. Burnout is usually tied to work or caregiving and often eases when the load changes. Depression tends to affect every part of life. A first conversation helps you understand which it might be.
Do I have to quit my job?+
No. Most people work on burnout while staying in their role. Therapy helps you decide what to change, and big decisions are always yours.
Can my company arrange sessions for me?+
Yes. Marea offers confidential counselling for workplaces, and your employer never sees what you discuss.
How soon will I feel better?+
Recovery takes time, but many people feel some relief once they have space to talk and a plan. Avinii reviews progress with you along the way.
