Stress and Burnout Therapy for Adults
Stress and burnout can develop gradually, often becoming part of daily life before we notice their impact. Ongoing stress may show up as tension, trouble sleeping, difficulty concentrating, emotional exhaustion, or feeling overwhelmed and disconnected. Burnout often follows prolonged stress and can include a sense of depletion, loss of motivation, or feeling emotionally numb.
Many adults in Whitecourt and Edmonton notice that stress begins to affect work, relationships, or overall wellbeing. You may experience increased irritability, emotional reactivity, or anger that feels out of character. Therapy can help you better understand what’s happening in your mind and body, restore balance, and develop practical coping strategies. For those seeking counselling and therapy services for adults, stress and burnout support can provide a helpful space to begin.
How I Can Help
My approach to stress and burnout therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in awareness of both mind and body. While talk therapy can help explore thoughts and emotions, chronic stress often shows up in the body as well. That’s why I combine traditional counselling with somatic therapy / somatic experiencing techniques.
In sessions, we explore how stress manifests physically and emotionally, work gently with nervous system regulation, and build strategies to respond to life’s demands without becoming overwhelmed. Sessions include reflective conversation, body-based awareness, and practical tools you can apply in daily life.
Related Concerns
Stress and burnout often overlap with other challenges rather than existing alone. Many adults notice increased anxiety, persistent fatigue, difficulty relaxing, or feeling constantly “on edge.” For some, prolonged stress can appear as anger or frustration, especially at work or in close relationships.
