Psychotherapy for Burnout, Career Change and Life Transitions

What we may work with

• Burnout, emotional exhaustion and the feeling that you have been running on empty.
• Work pressure, responsibility and the difficulty of stepping back.
• Professional identity — who you are when the role changes.
• Ambition, and its more complicated undersides.
• Redundancy, career change and the meanings you attach to them.
• Retirement and the loss of structure, purpose or status.
• Parenthood and other substantial changes in role.
• Relocation and the disorientation that can follow.
• Relationship changes prompted by, or overlapping with, other transitions.
• Loss of meaning, direction or interest.
• The tension between external achievement and internal uncertainty.
• The limitations of problem-solving and self-discipline for problems that are not really practical problems.
• Feeling trapped by a life that appears successful.
• The emotional consequences of major change, welcome or otherwise.

What this is not

This is not career strategy, performance coaching or business consultancy. It is psychotherapy, which is a different kind of work. It does not aim to make you more productive; it aims to help you understand what you are experiencing and how you want to respond to it.
