Counsellor Burnout: Signs You’re Running on Empty and How to Support Yourself


Listen Later

You hold space for everyone else - clients, family, friends. From the outside, it looks like you’re coping. But inside? You’re tired in a way that rest doesn’t touch.

In this episode, I share my own story of counsellor burnout, the subtle signs you might be missing, and a few gentle ways to support yourself when you’re running on empty. 

Because burnout doesn’t always look like collapse. Sometimes it looks like silence, stillness, or sighing at another message you can’t face replying to.

If that sounds familiar, this episode is for you.

What You’ll Hear:
  • Subtle signs of counsellor burnout
  • My personal experience during lockdown
  • 5 gentle, sensory ways to support yourself
  • Encouragement if you’re feeling flat, foggy, or disconnected
