How Burnout Therapy Can Help
At Warming Light Counselling, we offer a compassionate and individualised approach to burnout therapy. Our services include:
Personalised Assessments: Understanding your unique situation to tailor the therapy accordingly.
Evidence-Based Techniques: Utilising methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness practices to address negative thought patterns and promote resilience.
EMDR Therapy: If your burnout is tangled up with past experiences of perfectionism, trauma, or chronic pressure to overperform, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) therapy can help. It can help target and reprocess the deeper emotional roots of burnout, like beliefs of "I'm never doing enough" or memories of feeling unsafe to rest or say no. By gently working through these patterns, EMDR therapy can help reduce emotional overwhelm and free up space for calm, clarity, and self-trust.
Stress Management Strategies: Developing practical tools to manage stressors effectively.
Ongoing Support: Providing continuous guidance to help you maintain progress and prevent relapse.
Understanding Burnout and Its Effects
Burnout is more than just feeling tired; it's a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by prolonged stress. It often leads to feelings of detachment, decreased motivation, and a sense of ineffectiveness. Recognising the signs early and seeking professional support can prevent further deterioration and promote recovery.
FAQS
-
Burnout doesn’t just live in your head. It affects your whole body and mood. Common symptoms include:
Constant fatigue, even after rest
Frequent headaches or muscle tension
Difficulty sleeping or waking up
Increased irritability, cynicism, or detachment
Feeling numb, stuck, or emotionally drained
Trouble concentrating or making decisions
Feeling like nothing you do is enough
If you recognise yourself in this list, you're not alone. And you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.
At Warming Light Counselling, we help you gently tune into what your body and emotions are telling you, so you can recover from burnout and feel more like yourself again.
Let’s start reconnecting with your energy, purpose, and peace—one small step at a time.
-
Daily stress is a normal part of life. It can make you feel pressured or stretched for a short time, but usually, once the situation passes (like finishing a project or getting through a busy day), your body and mind return to balance.
Burnout is different. It builds up over time when stress is constant and overwhelming, without enough recovery. Burnout leaves you feeling emotionally exhausted, detached, and drained, like you have nothing left to give, no matter how much you rest.
If stress is like carrying a heavy backpack for a while, burnout is feeling like the backpack has become part of you, and you can’t take it off.
Warming Light Counselling can work with you to recognise the signs early, rebuild your resilience, and create real, manageable changes to help you recover.

Yes. While EMDR is often known for trauma, it’s also incredibly effective in addressing burnout, especially if your burnout is linked to long-standing beliefs, high pressure, or unresolved emotional experiences.
Many people experiencing burnout carry invisible burdens: the fear of letting others down, a deep sense of never being enough, or memories of times when they weren’t allowed to rest or express needs. EMDR helps target and reprocess these emotional blocks, so you can respond to stress with more flexibility, not fear.
At Warming Light Counselling, we offer EMDR therapy in a supportive, paced way that’s tailored to your nervous system and energy levels.
You don’t have to push through. Healing is possible, and it starts by feeling safe to slow down.
