What is Burnout?
Burnout has been described by The World Health Organisation (WHO) as an ‘occupational phenomenon’. It is a syndrome that can have multiple physical, emotional and mental symptoms as a result of long term, often stressful and excessively demanding work/life balance. Burnout coaching can help you recognise these patterns before they take a deeper toll.

Symptoms associated with burnout include:
- Difficulty concentrating or focusing

Common Treatments For Burnout
