Work Stress and Burnout Counselling in London
You may be functioning well on the outside - continuing to work, meet deadlines, and carry responsibility - while internally feeling exhausted, anxious, irritable, or increasing detached from yourself or others.
This can manifest in many ways including:
-
Inability to switch off
-
Sunday dread
-
Sleep problems
-
Anger at home
-
Emotional numbness
-
Perfectionism
-
Impostor syndrome
-
Over-identification with work
-
Feeling trapped
Work stress is not always simply about workload. It can also connect with deeper patterns — self-worth tied to achievement, fear of failure, difficulty setting boundaries, or long-standing beliefs about responsibility and being “good enough”.
Having spent over 30 years in senior professional roles before retraining as a therapist, I understand the internal and external pressures many professionals face.
How Therapy Can Help
Therapy can help reduce anxiety, understanding burnout patterns, management of anger, improving boundaries, reconnecting with relationships, clarifying values, and making career decisions.
