Sound familiar?
- Evenings don’t restore; mornings start behind and heavy.
- Work keeps spilling home; your off-switch isn’t working.
- You’re efficient, but your patience wears thin quickly.
- Weekends refill a little, then the drain opens Monday.
- You wonder if this is burnout — or just you.
- You don’t have to be sure this “counts” as burnout — if you feel permanently on empty, we can sort it out together.

What we’ll do:
quick help now + lasting change
A no-cost fit check. Next steps if it feels right.
Steady first.
Protect one evening and one recovery window this week so energy can refill.
Map the pattern.
- Name the drivers of your burnout — overload loops, people-pleasing, perfection, role demands, and older “never-enough” rules — and pick the smallest lever to move first.
Make It Stick.
- Small weekly reps (shutdown ritual, buffer, or boundary), with a short follow-up email so the plan is easy to keep.
- Within 1–3 sessions, many people feel evenings a little more protected and notice the first signs of energy returning.
- We’re not rebuilding your whole life at once — we start with this week.
When burnout starts to lift
- Evenings restore — sleep and mornings start kinder.
- Work stops spilling home — you leave more of it at the door.
- You say “yes” slower — boundaries hold without constant effort.
- Energy returns — steady, not spiky; weekends actually refill.
- Conversations are shorter and softer — repairs happen sooner.
- Many people tell me evenings finally feel off-duty again — work still matters, but it doesn’t run every night.
Common Questions 
We go at a steady pace — you don’t have to tell your whole story at once.
Will talking about burnout put my career at risk?
No. This is private, online counselling — not a report to your employer, regulator, or EAP. We’ll focus on what helps your week run steadier (sleep, shutdown, boundaries, pressure), at a pace that feels safe.
Do I need a diagnosis or EAP referral?
No. You can book directly. Some people use benefits, some don’t — either way, you don’t need a diagnosis to get support. If you’re using extended health, many plans reimburse RSW sessions.
What if my schedule is unpredictable?
That’s common. We can work with shifting weeks and real-world constraints. If you can’t “fix” the workload right now, we’ll build an off-switch that still holds — even in a heavy season.
Will we just talk about work?
We’ll talk about work and what work is doing to you. Often the real issue is the pattern underneath — old “always be on / don’t drop the ball” rules, perfection, pressure, people-pleasing, sleep disruption. We’ll steady the week first, then work the pattern so it sticks.
Can I keep my camera off?
Yes. Many people start that way. You can turn it on later, or keep it off — we’ll still do solid work.
