Stress & Burnout Counselling in Basingstoke
​You’re doing your best but you’re exhausted.
​
Stress has a way of creeping in until it feels like it’s running the show. Maybe you’re juggling too much, struggling to switch off, or feeling overwhelmed no matter how hard you try to stay on top of things.
You might be ticking all the boxes on the outside but inside, you’re drained, anxious, or disconnected.​ If this sounds familiar, you might be on the edge of burnout or already there. You don’t have to power through it alone.​ Counselling in Basingstoke can offer a space to slow down, take stock, and gently reconnect with what you need.
How Stress & Burnout Can Show Up
Stress and burnout affect everyone differently, but you might notice:
​
-
Constant tension, overwhelm, or irritability
-
Feeling emotionally flat, detached, or tearful
-
Trouble sleeping, switching off, or relaxing
-
Physical symptoms like headaches, fatigue, or stomach issues
-
Losing interest in things you once enjoyed
-
Feeling like you can never “do enough” or fully stop
-
Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
-
A sense of dread about work, study, or daily responsibilities
​
Whether the stress is coming from work, education, caring responsibilities, or just life feeling too full, it can leave you running on empty. But you don’t have to stay in survival mode.
How Counselling Can Help
Counselling offers a calm, grounded space for you to step back and breathe.
Together, we can look at what’s contributing to your stress or burnout whether it’s external pressures, past patterns, or internal expectations you’ve been carrying.

​
We’ll work at your pace with your needs at the centre, whether that’s setting better boundaries, reconnecting with your values, or simply finding small ways to rest and recover.
