Running on empty? Let's refill the tank.
Burnout creeps up slowly, then all at once. Evidence-based therapy to help you recover, set boundaries, and build a life that doesn't cost you everything, in Parramatta or online.
Burnout isn't just being tired.
It's a depletion that sleep doesn't fix. You don't need to tick every box to reach out.
- You're exhausted in a way that a good night's sleep no longer touches.
- Work you once cared about now feels pointless, or you've gone numb to it.
- You're cynical, short-tempered, or detached from people you care about.
- Concentration, memory and decisions have all become harder than they should be.
- Small setbacks feel overwhelming, and you're running on adrenaline and caffeine.
- You can't switch off, and even rest feels like another thing to fail at.
- Your body is keeping score, with headaches, tension, gut issues and getting sick often.
- You've been told to "just take a holiday," and it has never once been enough.
Burnout is real. You don't have to hit the wall first.
Recovery, not just coping.
We help you treat the cause, not just the symptoms.
CBT
Untangling the perfectionism, over-commitment and "shoulds" that drive burnout, and building more sustainable patterns.
Stress & recovery skills
The basics that burnout quietly erodes first: nervous-system regulation, sleep and genuine recovery.
ACT & values
Reconnecting with what actually matters to you, so your energy goes where it counts and boundaries get easier.
Boundaries & work
Practical strategies for workload, communication and boundaries, both at work and at home.
We review your goals together regularly, so you always know where therapy is heading, and you can pause or stop at any time.
Your first weeks, step by step.
Here's how the early sessions usually unfold.
- 1
Mostly a conversation
Your psychologist asks what's been happening and what you'd like to change. You only go as far as you're comfortable, and together you'll sketch a plan.
Session one - 2
Finding the leaks
You'll map where your energy goes and what drains it, then start small, protective changes that put recovery before performance.
Sessions two to four - 3
Reviewing together
Progress is checked against your goals, not a fixed program. Some people come for six sessions, others longer. It's always your call, made with clear information.
Ongoing
Know your costs before you start.
We confirm your fee and any rebate in writing before your first session. If a funding body covers you, we bill them directly wherever possible.
See fees- Medicare: rebates on up to 10 sessions a year with a Mental Health Treatment Plan from your GP.
- NDIS, DVA, Workers Comp & CTP: usually no out-of-pocket cost when approved.
- Private health: claim through your extras cover, with no referral needed.

Protecting recovery
Burnout is a signal, not a personal failing
When the load has outrun recovery for too long, pushing harder only deepens it. The way back starts with real rest and one boundary you actually protect.

Recovery starts with a conversation.
Tell us where the pressure’s coming from and we’ll match you with a psychologist who gets burnout, usually after a free triage.
