Burnout & Medical Leave Support

Feeling Exhausted, Overwhelmed, or Disconnected?

Burnout doesn’t just affect work—it impacts emotions, relationships, and overall well-being. If you're feeling emotionally drained, struggling to keep up, or questioning whether you can continue at your current pace, you’re not alone. Burnout can leave you feeling stuck, but with the right support, recovery is possible.

How You Will Be Supported

At Journey to Growth Counselling, we support individuals in recognizing, navigating, and recovering from burnout, including supporting with the complexities of mental health-related medical leave. Whether you’re considering taking a step back from work, currently on leave, or preparing to return, our compassionate counselling provides a safe space to process emotions, set boundaries, and regain a sense of balance.

Support includes:
✔ Recognizing burnout and deciding if medical leave is the right step
✔ Navigating workplace conversations and advocating for your needs
✔ Processing emotional overwhelm and regulating your nervous system
✔ Understanding the deeper roots of burnout and stress patterns
✔ Setting boundaries and communicating with confidence
✔ Debriefing medical appointments and creating a circle of care support

Our Approach

Using a blend of somatic experiencing, person-centered therapy, solution-focused therapy, and boundary work, we provide tailored support to help you reconnect with yourself and regain control. Our approach is practical, supportive, and focused on emotional regulation, nervous system awareness, and self-empowerment so you can confidently move forward.

Virtual & In-Person Sessions Available

Support is available through virtual counselling (video sessions) as well as in-person sessions to ensure accessibility throughout your burnout recovery journey.

If you’re ready to feel supported, validated, and equipped to move forward, we’re here to help.
