Counselling for stress and burnout in Burnaby

Counselling for stress and burnout in BC

counselling to reduce stress

Starting counselling for stress and burnout is similar to driving. Like taking your car into the garage when the engine will not start, we unpack the toil, stress, and burnout has taken on you. While at the garage, the mechanic will determine why your car shut down and what parts need to be replaced. Similarly, we discuss your work-life balance, meeting other people’s expectations, and your self-talk. I sit next to you in the passenger seat and ensure you are safe, heard, validated, and supported as you drive. I offer strategies and tools to help you feel less stressed and burnt out. You can pull over, slow down, or change lanes anytime. You gain new insight and understanding, which creates new experiences and awareness. Driving home after your counselling session, you feel less stressed and more in control. You also reflect on your self-care routine and measures to take when stressed. 

I am a registered clinical counsellor (#19428) dedicated to supporting individuals who feel stressed and burnout. 

We work together to explore how your stress and burnout impact your life. This happens in a safe, non-judgmental, and private space in Burnaby and online. You may struggle to maintain a work-life balance, which results in you feeling stressed and overwhelmed.
