Presenter
I know from my own life the slow drift towards every workday being grey, the loss of meaning and motivation, the decreasing ability to imagine life being any other way.
But I have also experienced the shock of realising in counselling that things didn’t have to be this way, and the technicolor vibrancy of finding new purpose and meaning in my own life.
As a counsellor, I help people to step off this path and rediscover the spontaneity and excitement of engaging with their now and exploring their future. This change, pushing back against the forces that led to burnout in the first place, may be harder than it sounds – this is why I am here, offering a counselling perspective on burnout and a burnout-informed counselling, all part of a planned recovery path.
