Stress & Burnout

Stress can build gradually or arrive suddenly through work pressures, life changes, or ongoing responsibilities. Over time it may leave you feeling exhausted, irritable or emotionally drained.

I offer face-to-face counselling in East Belfast alongside online sessions across Belfast and Northern Ireland, providing space to reflect, reset and better understand the pressures you are carrying.

Signs of Stress & Burnout

  • Constant pressure or overwhelm
  • Difficulty switching off from work
  • Exhaustion or loss of motivation
  • Irritability or emotional shutdown
  • Feeling disconnected from yourself or others
  • Trouble concentrating or making decisions

How Counselling Can Support Stress

Together we may explore:

  • boundaries and expectations
  • perfectionism or internal pressure
  • balancing responsibilities
  • recognising early warning signs
  • developing steadier responses to pressure
  • reconnecting with rest and self-awareness


If stress or burnout is affecting your wellbeing, counselling can offer a calm space to pause and reflect. You are welcome to arrange a short consultation to explore support.

If you’d like to explore these topics further, you can read related posts on my blog.

Reaching out for counselling can feel like a big step, especially when you’re feeling vulnerable. When you’re ready, I offer a safe and confidential space where we can begin to explore what’s going on for you.

If you’re looking for counselling in Belfast or online therapy, you’re welcome to arrange a free 15-minute consultation call to discuss your needs and see whether counselling with me feels like the right fit.
