3 months is the minimum recommended time to start shifting chronic stress patterns and most clients continue going month‑to‑month until they feel stabilised again.

Many clients stay in session on an ad-hoc basis, others opt for ongoing in depth psychotherapy. The pay-as-you-go monthly style structure gives you complete flexibility on how long you want to engage in the 1:1 burnout solution.

Here’s how it’s designed to work:

🧠 Stage 1: Put out the fire
We stabilise your nervous system, reduce symptom intensity, and stop the constant feeling of overwhelm. This is about finding relief – quickly and safely.

🏗 Stage 2: Rebuild capacity
Once the crisis settles, we increase your ability to handle stress without collapsing. You’ll learn how to regulate in real time, not just cope after the fact.

🔍 Stage 3: Find the source
We identify the deeper patterns – work dynamics, identity pressure, past experiences – that caused burnout in the first place, so it doesn’t keep repeating.

We hold our sessions online via Google Meets, the links are forwarded weekly prior to each session, and they’ll look like this in your inbox every week:

Most employee assistance programmes and private medical insurance are designed for short‑term support, typically around 6–12 sessions with a therapist allocated from their directory.

This support can be a helpful starting point, but many clients find it isn’t enough on its own: it’s not tailored to burnout‑related issues and often stays at a surface level, offering general counselling or CBT rather than deeper, sustained work on the patterns driving their burnout.

Many clients self-fund and others share expenses with their employer: You can use this expense template we have created to help you ask for support.

Yes, completely.

I’m a BACP-accredited psychotherapist and work strictly within the BACP Ethical Framework, which means confidentiality, data protection, and professional boundaries are non-negotiable.

You are under no obligation to inform your employer, HR, or anyone else that you’re doing this program.

In short:
Your work stays between us.

Your role is only a part of your life, not your entire identity. I have worked with people from all corners of life and each inspire me and the continued development of the burnout solution.

That said, burnout tends to cluster in certain environments, and many of my clients are:

• Founders, entrepreneurs, startup leaders
• Senior managers and executives
• Creatives: content creators, designers, producers, writers, actors
• High-pressure professionals: lawyers, consultants, finance
• Engineers, developers, product managers
• Advertising, media and agency professionals
• Healthcare and helping professions
• Academics, researchers and PhD candidates

Most have one thing in common: they’re very capable, driven and used to functioning at a high level, but feel unable to sustain their wellbeing and career in balance.

Short answer: It’s a burnout recovery method that uses the parts of each that actually work, and drops the rest. It’s a blend of psychotherapeutic analysis, somatic experiencing, depth psychology and executive coaching. All these approaches work together to create the optimum environment for you to prevent and recover from burnout.

The hub is a place to access free burnout regulation tools that you can use in between our sessions. You can access it here.

🎓 The research is clear: higher-intensity sessions (twice weekly) leads to faster improvement, sustainable symptom reduction, and more durable change than once-weekly sessions, especially for chronic stress and burnout.

This isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing the right amount, at the right intensity, so your burnout cycle actually changes.

We often drop down to once weekly, with a more traditional therapeutic approach, after you feel ready.

No. This isn’t a program, and it’s not about adding more to your plate.

🔥 Burnout happens because you’ve been doing too much, for too long. Recovery works in the opposite direction. Our focus is on removing effort, not adding tasks.

📝 There’s no homework, no worksheets, and no modules to “keep up with.” We work together to integrate regulation into what you’re already doing, so recovery happens inside real life, not on top of it.

🏢 Work stress is real. Deadlines, pressure, poor leadership and crunch cycles absolutely contribute to burnout.

However it is not exclusively work-related.

It’s a state of severe physical, mental, and emotional exhaustion caused by prolonged, unmanaged stress from any area of life. It can stem from caregiving, parenting, life events, neurodevelopment issues or complex trauma.

We can’t rewrite your company’s wellbeing policies but what we can change is how your nervous system responds to work.

Most clients notice meaningful shifts within the first few months, usually more calm, clarity, and fewer spikes of overwhelm.

Some people work with me for the recommended 12 weeks. Others choose to continue for many years as their work and life evolve.

👉 The monthly, pay-as-you-go structure gives you full control, we move at the pace your nervous system actually needs.

£1200 per month on a flexible pay-as-go model.

£150 per session if you prefer the weekly session model.

Yes, many clients ask their workplace for full or part contribution as part of their:

• Leadership Development Budget (most common)
• Professional Development / Training Budget
• Employee Wellbeing / Mental Health Budget
• Talent Retention / Succession Planning Budget
• Executive Coaching / L&D Budget
