Stress & Burnout Therapy in Melbourne

Burnout Therapy in Melbourne

Prolonged stress can affect your sleep, mood, focus and motivation – leaving you emotionally depleted and physically exhausted. At PsychologyCare, our experienced psychologists provide therapy for burnout and chronic stress at our Malvern and Prahran clinics. Whether you’re overwhelmed at work, in caregiving, or in life more broadly, we support you to reset and restore.

What Is Burnout?

Burnout is more than feeling tired. It’s a state of emotional, mental and physical exhaustion caused by sustained stress and unmet needs. It often involves:

Persistent fatigue that rest doesn’t fix
Loss of motivation, creativity or sense of purpose
Cynicism or detachment from work or responsibilities
Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
Increased anxiety, irritability or emotional reactivity
Physical symptoms like headaches, tension or poor sleep

Burnout can affect anyone – professionals, students, parents, carers. Therapy helps you understand how stress is impacting your system, and what needs to change for recovery to occur.

Who Might Benefit from Stress or Burnout Therapy?

Feel overwhelmed by workload, responsibilities or expectations
Struggle to switch off or feel guilty when resting
Notice signs of shutdown, fatigue or low motivation
Are in a high-pressure job or helping role with little support
Have tried to “push through” but feel like you’re running on empty
Want help building sustainable boundaries, coping skills and perspective

Whether you’re in early-stage stress or deeper burnout, our psychologists will meet you with practical support and compassionate insight.

What Happens in a Burnout Therapy Session?

Stress mapping – identifying where pressure builds and how it shows up
Nervous system regulation – building capacity to move out of fight, flight or freeze
Cognitive support – challenging perfectionism, people-pleasing or over-functioning
Boundary-setting – learning to say no with clarity and care
Values re-alignment – reconnecting with what matters beyond productivity
Recovery planning – developing rest strategies that are actually restorative

Sessions are paced to avoid adding pressure – your wellbeing sets the tone.
