One-to-one help for the kind of burnout that doesn't ease on its own.

The strongest evidence sits with CBT and ACT, plus any integrative approach that also addresses the real-world load you're under. CBT helps change the perfectionism and over-responsibility patterns that drive burnout. ACT helps reconnect you with what matters when your nervous system has flatlined. For many people, the best therapy is one that combines both — with a therapist who understands burnout specifically, not just general stress.

No. You don't need a GP referral, a diagnosis, or a label. If you suspect you're burnt out, that's enough to start. The free 2-minute Burnout Tracker can help you put words to where you are.

In practice the lines blur. Therapy and counselling tend to focus on the inner work — why this happened, what's underneath the exhaustion, what needs to be felt and processed. Coaching leans more practical — boundaries, workload, decision-making. With burnout, most people need both, and the work moves between them naturally.

Yes, for many people. Research comparing video-based therapy with in-person therapy has found comparable outcomes for stress, anxiety, and depression when the therapist is qualified and the relationship is good. The convenience also helps — you can keep the rhythm of weekly sessions without the extra energy cost of travel.

There's no single answer. Mild burnout often eases within 8–12 sessions. Severe or long-standing burnout — especially when it's tangled with overwork patterns from childhood — usually takes longer. We review progress together every few weeks.

Most people start weekly and move to fortnightly as things settle. A common shape is 8–12 weekly sessions for mild-to-moderate burnout, then a slower tail. You're never committed to a block — we review together and you can stop at any point.

That's common, and it's worth naming early. Often the previous work treated the symptoms — anxiety, low mood, sleep — without addressing the load and the patterns producing them. We'll talk about what happened last time and what needs to be different, rather than repeating it.

It's the most common reason people delay, and understandable. Online sessions remove travel, and 50 minutes a week is usually the smallest commitment that still changes something. If weekly genuinely isn't possible, we can talk about fortnightly on the free call.

Yes. Sessions are confidential within the BACP ethical framework. The limits — risk to life, safeguarding, and legal requirements — are explained clearly before we begin, so nothing about confidentiality is a surprise.

Sessions are £97 for 50 minutes, online by secure video. The introductory 20-minute call is free. A limited number of lower-fee places are kept for people in financial hardship — it is fine to ask.

Yes. A limited number of lower-fee places are held for people in genuine financial hardship. Ask on the free 20-minute introductory call — it is a normal question and it will not affect how the work is offered.
