Online therapy for stress, work related stress & burnout

Support for pressure, overwhelm, and emotional exhaustion

Stress can build gradually or arrive suddenly. You may be juggling responsibilities, managing others, or dealing with constant demands — all while trying to stay composed. Over time, this pressure can become difficult to carry, affecting your mood, energy, sleep, and ability to switch off. For some people, stress becomes chronic. For others, it develops into burnout which is a state of emotional, mental, and physical exhaustion.

For people in managerial, leadership or executive roles, the pressure can feel even more intense. Maybe you are carrying the weight of looking after clients or a team that are relying on you. You might not have any trusted peers, colleagues or managers with whom you feel you can share how you are feeling. 

Online counselling for stress with me offers a confidential space to pause, reflect, and regain balance and together we can help you find a sense of coherence again.

I offer online therapy in Leeds, Yorkshire and across the UK for people who want structured help to reduce stress and regain balance.
