Burnout Counselling for People Tired of Pushing Through

You keep getting everything done, but it is costing you more than anyone can see.

Burnout can feel like exhaustion, irritability, brain fog or complete disconnection from work and the people around you. A weekend off may help briefly, then Monday arrives and the same weight returns.

Josh Feeney is a PACFA-registered counsellor and psychotherapist offering online burnout counselling across Australia, with in-person sessions available in Surry Hills, Sydney.

Does this sound familiar?

  • You are tired before the day begins

  • Small requests feel unreasonable or overwhelming

  • You cannot switch off, even when you stop working

  • You feel detached from work, relationships or yourself

  • Rest comes with guilt rather than relief

  • You are functioning, but you know the current pace cannot continue

If this is taking up too much of your life, that is enough reason to talk with someone.

How Josh Can Help With Burnout

Josh is calm, practical and direct. He understands that telling a burnt-out person to practise more self-care can feel like adding another task to an already impossible list.

Sessions give you space to stop performing competence and be honest about what is happening. Together, you will identify what is draining you, where your limits have been ignored and what needs to change. This may include workload, boundaries, perfectionism, people-pleasing or the belief that your value depends on how useful you are.

For LGBTQ+ clients, Josh also understands the exhaustion that can come from discrimination, concealment, community responsibility and constantly assessing whether a space is safe.

The goal is to help you recover, set limits you can maintain and build a life that does not require you to run yourself into the ground.

Meet with Josh online from Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, Hobart or regional Australia. In-person counselling is also available in Surry Hills, Sydney.
