Therapy for people struggling with burnout
Here in Singapore, we live in a fast-paced society, and burnout happens to the best of us. We're dedicated to supporting you through challenges of burnout and guiding you towards a more balanced and fulfilling life.
How to Recover from Burnout with Therapy
Burnout is a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by prolonged stress. It often arises from workplace demands, but it can also stem from other areas of life. Symptoms of burnout can include feelings of detachment, fatigue, and a sense of ineffectiveness. Through therapy, we’ll work to understand the causes and symptoms of your burnout specifically, and explore strategies for recovery and prevention.

You will have a 15 minute discovery call with me to make sure we are compatible. We will discuss your reasons for seeking therapy, goals you may have, and what you are looking for in an effective therapist. We will also make sure we are a good fit in terms of fees and schedule availability.
Our first few sessions will be about getting to know you better, setting some goals or areas of focus, and just getting into the rhythm of our therapeutic work together. From there, some people choose to pursue short-term therapy, often focused on resolving a specific issue. Others may benefit from a longer term approach, allowing for deeper work that allows me to help you to move forward and establish strong foundations for long-term change.

If you are in Singapore, I offer in-person sessions at Peninsula Plaza (City Hall MRT).
If you’re outside of Singapore, or if you simply prefer virtual sessions, we can meet online.
It’s important to ensure that you have a stable, strong internet connection and a quiet, private space to attend sessions virtually, in order to have the most positive and effective experience of therapy.

In general, please be assured that therapy is confidential, meaning that what is discussed in sessions is kept private between the therapist and client. This means that unless you give your explicit permission to share information about your therapy sessions with someone else, or unless there is a legal requirement for your therapist to disclose information, no one else should find out that you are seeking therapy.
There are some exceptions to confidentiality, however. Therapists are legally required to break confidentiality if they believe that the client is at risk of harming themselves or others, if they suspect that a child or vulnerable adult is being abused, or if they are ordered to do so by a court of law.
It is important to discuss any concerns you have about confidentiality with your therapist and to ask any questions you may have about how your information will be kept private. This will help you to feel more comfortable and secure during therapy sessions, and will enable you to focus on your treatment goals.
-
The duration of therapy can vary depending on the individual's needs and goals. Some people may only need a few sessions to address a specific issue, while others may need ongoing therapy for several months or even years. We will discuss this at the onset of our work together, as well as periodically check in on the progress you are making and the ongoing need for and benefit of continuing therapy.
