Coaching for burnout
You can recover burnout or exhaustion even if you feel that there’s no point or you don’t know how.
Burnout will not go away by itself, but there’re ways to effectively recover from, or avoid it, and the sooner you talk to someone about it, the sooner your situation will change.
Quitting your job may not be the answer
Approaching burnout, the first thing that comes to mind is quitting the job. But often it isn’t necessary. Everything depends on the reason you burned out, and often the first reason that comes to mind is not The Reason.
One of the characteristics of this state is that you feel miserable and hopeless, but it is just a feeling. Remind yourself that it was not always like that and life can be good again.
I’m not saying that it will be easy – in fact, it will be uncomfortable at first to put your guard down and talk. But it will be very rewarding.
No walking on hot coals though – just some self-reflection.
If this sounds good, I invite you to schedule an introductionary call to see if we are a good coaching match.
Schedule a call to talk about your situation, your needs and what solution may be the best for you:
We can work together to:
- find out why things are as they are at the moment with your career
- assess what is important for you at this stage of your life
- develop a plan for the next steps to go out of burnout, and what you want to do next
- find out the ways to navigate challenging and stressful situations in your career
- bring the confidence in your abilities to thrive
- work out how to integrate your career and personal life
- work on how to explain the situation to your partner, rekindle the contact, and find a way to go through it together
- bring your passion back and be more energetic and positive that you can actually build the lifestyle you prefer
Everything depends on your personal situation and goals. Some past clients have chosen coaching to reinvent themselves as burnout led them to take a closer look at their lives and decide to make significant changes in their direction.
Your future is up to you.
COACHING OPTIONS
3-month program
I recommend that you consider at least a three-month program – 3 months is a good amount of time to get to the bottom of things and see results in practice.
Especially since there probably will be days where you may feel like spending a session talking about current developments in your life, and there is no reason to hurry.
How does it work?
- We will both commit to 12 meetings over three months.
- The initial session will take 1.5 hours to get to know you better, and the others will be 1-hour long.
- Before the first meeting, you will receive an assessment form that will help you see where you are at the moment.
Weekly sessions sound intense, and they are – it’s to help you make changes and keep the momentum.
In between, depending on the topic, you will receive materials and exercises that you can go through at your own pace, so that you can spend the next coaching meeting talking instead of listening.
Bespoke program
If you would like to discuss another solution – intensive program or a program including more elements (e.g. transition planning), please get in touch.
Continuous cooperation
If want to have the comfort of longer support, feel free to reach out and discuss the details.
FAQs
Do I need a coach or a therapist?
It depends on how you feel. If you have depression, anxiety, or similar issues, a therapist will be a better match for you.
In any case of burnout, it’s good to visit a physician first to get an objective opinion about the state of your health. If they suggest visiting a psychologist or a psychiatrist, I would highly recommend doing so!
Can you tell me more about the first contact (free) call?
During the call, you’ll have time to ask questions and see if I’m the person you’d like to work with. Our conversation also gives me an opportunity to assess if I’m the right person to help in your particular situation.
Is online coaching as effective as in-person coaching?
It allows you to have a session in the privacy of your own home, park, or any place you choose to be during the session.
As long as you feel safe and comfortable to speak freely, an online session can be very efective. Especially that you don’t have to worry about your dresscode, or being stuck in traffic as well.
Are the sessions confidential?
Yes. I lead the sessions from a location that ensures privacy, and the sessions won’t be recorded unless you wish to.
How long are the sessions?
An usual session lasts 55-60 minutes.
Do you offer in-person coaching?
I predominantly offer online coaching sessions.
