What will we actually talk about first?

We begin with real situations that keep replaying after the day ends. The focus is clarifying what you were responsible for in that moment and what was outside your control so the mind can disengage.

What if I am functioning but exhausted inside?

Many clients are still performing well but cannot mentally switch off. Therapy focuses on closing ongoing responsibility loops rather than only managing stress symptoms.

Is this therapy covered by insurance in Ontario?

Yes. Sessions are psychotherapy with a Registered Psychotherapist and are covered by most extended health insurance plans in Ontario.

Do you offer online sessions only?

Yes. All sessions are secure video appointments for adults living in Ontario.

How do I know if this is the right fit?

You can book a brief consultation where we discuss what you have been carrying and whether this approach matches it. If not, I will suggest alternatives.

Burnout Recovery Coaching — Professional Help for High Responsibility Roles

Common Therapy Questions Answered

In the first session, we clarify what kind of burnout you’re dealing with. Many high-responsibility professionals are still functioning well but feel depleted, reactive, or disconnected from themselves. We look at patterns, pressure points, and what recovery actually needs to target. There is no pressure to commit.
We start with situations that keep replaying after the day ends.
We slow them down and look at what you believed you were responsible for in that moment. Then we sort out what truly belonged to you and what did not.

Some sessions are reflective, others practical. The goal is steadiness and clear judgment, not endless processing. If tools between sessions help, we use them. If not, we don’t.

Burnout therapy is for people who are still functioning but feel depleted, irritable, or disconnected from themselves. Many are in high-responsibility roles such as healthcare, leadership, caregiving, or professional work where others rely on them. You may notice compassion fatigue, loss of motivation, identity strain, or a sense that something is off even though you are still performing. Therapy helps you understand what kind of burnout this is and supports you in restoring clarity, steadiness, and your ability to act from your values.

Therapy and coaching both support burnout, but they serve different roles. Therapy is a regulated health service that addresses emotional, psychological, and identity-related strain such as burnout, grief, or trauma. It often looks at underlying patterns and supports deeper recovery. Coaching is more present and future-focused, helping with clarity, decision-making, and direction when you are relatively stable. If burnout is affecting your well-being or sense of self, therapy is usually the better place to start.

Therapy can help with burnout, grief, anxiety, identity struggles, and major life transitions. Many people seek support when they feel depleted, overwhelmed, or no longer like themselves, especially in high-responsibility roles. I work with caregiving burnout, compassion fatigue, moral stress, and questions around meaning, purpose, and direction. Using approaches like CBT, ACT, and narrative therapy, the work is practical, personalized, and focused on helping you regain clarity, steadiness, and a sense of yourself.

If you live in Ontario, you can work with me for psychotherapy. As a Registered Psychotherapist licensed by the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario, I provide regulated online therapy to Ontario residents only. If you are located outside Ontario, I offer coaching instead, which focuses on burnout recovery, clarity, and direction but does not involve diagnosis or treatment of mental health conditions. This allows you to still access support that fits your situation, wherever you are located.

The length of therapy or coaching for burnout depends on your goals, but many people begin to notice meaningful change within 6 to 12 sessions. Early work focuses on understanding patterns and stabilizing your energy, followed by clearer shifts in how you think, respond, and make decisions. Some continue longer for deeper identity or life changes, while others prefer shorter, focused support. We decide on a pace together so it fits your needs without feeling open-ended or unclear.

Getting started with online therapy is simple and done at your pace. First, book a free 20-minute consultation to ask questions and see if the fit feels right. If you decide to continue, you’ll schedule your first full session and complete secure intake forms through Jane App. Sessions take place by secure video and begin as a guided conversation with no pressure. Payment is handled after each session through the same platform, keeping the process straightforward.

I don’t bill directly to insurance, but many clients are able to submit receipts to their provider for reimbursement. Please check your specific insurance plan to see if psychotherapy or professional counselling is covered.

If you are asking this, there is a good chance something more than simple fatigue is going on. Burnout can look like exhaustion, irritability, loss of motivation, or feeling disconnected from yourself even though you are still functioning. When it starts affecting your mood, relationships, decision-making, or sense of identity, therapy can help you understand what is happening and what kind of recovery you actually need. You do not have to wait until things get worse to get support.
