Work issues

Most of us spend a huge portion of our lives at work, so it makes sense that our careers deeply affect our psychological well-being. If work is leaving you drained and stuck, it can help to have a place to sort through it all with support.

Burnout and exhaustion

When you're constantly giving but never feel like it’s enough, burnout can creep in. It can feel like you're running on empty, physically, emotionally, and mentally. Therapy can help you slow down, listen inwardly, and find ways to restore your energy and reconnect with what matters to you.

Perfectionism, pressure, and self-worth

For some, work becomes a place where perfectionism or people-pleasing takes over. You might tie your worth to productivity or achievement. We can look gently at those patterns together and explore what a more compassionate relationship with yourself could feel like.

Workplace stress and conflict

High-pressure environments, difficult colleagues, and lack of support can take a toll. If your nervous system is constantly on edge, or you are dreading Mondays, therapy can help you understand what is happening in your body and find new ways to respond to stress and advocate for yourself.

Career changes and uncertainty

Changing jobs, retrenchment or re-entering the workforce can stir up anxiety, grief, or self-doubt. You might feel stuck or unsure of the next step. Together, we can explore your values, strengths, and what feels right for you, not just what looks good on paper.

When work feels misaligned

Maybe your job looks fine from the outside, but something inside you knows it’s not quite right. You might be feeling disconnected, uninspired, or like you are betraying parts of yourself just to get through the day. Therapy can support you in realigning with your values and your sense of self.

Retirement and major transitions

Retirement brings big changes, both practical and emotional. You might be excited, or you might feel lost without the identity and structure that work provided. Therapy offers a space to process this shift, explore what’s next, and stay connected to a sense of purpose and meaning.
