The Burnoutologist.
Solution focused hypnotherapy and psychotherapy for burnout.
You’re at burnout, now what?
You miss having the energy to live your life, and you’re wondering how you got here.
I’ve been there too.
At the peak of my first burnout I couldn’t even pick up a glass of water. I didn’t recognise the person staring back at me in the mirror. And I didn’t understand how I’d gone from “doing it all” to not feeling like I could function.
When you’re at burnout, exhausted, overwhelmed, and struggling to feel like yourself, knowing something needs to change doesn’t always tell you where to start. And even if logically you know what needs to be different, being able to get it done can feel impossible.
Perhaps life still looks fine from the outside. But inside, you feel constantly on edge, flat and disconnected.
Take the first step in burnout recovery.
How This Work Eases Burnout.
Four ways in which the work we do together will help to ease the thoughts , habits, and beliefs that contributed to burnout.
1
Calming the thoughts and feelings of “Survival Mode”.
Burnout leaves the nervous system stuck in “fight-or-flight”. We’ll guide you into a deeply relaxed state, engaging the vagus nerve and activating the parasympathetic nervous system to reset your stress response.
2
Rewiring the “Always On” Mentality.
Using positive suggestion, we’ll quiet your inner critic and disconnect your sense of self-worth from constant productivity and always feeling like you need to do more and prove more.
3
Deconstructing Perfectionism in your life.
We’ll target the underlying subconscious behaviours such as perfectionism, self-doubt of chronic over-working that create imbalance in the burnout equation and contribute to burnout.
4
Creating Subconscious Boundaries.
We’ll build you a mental “off switch,” making it naturally easier to set limits and boundaries in your life, without the feeling of guilt or failure.
How we work together.
We start with a 20 minute introductory call to see if we’re a good fit, and to determine if this is the right support for you and where you’re at right now.
If we decide to go ahead, we’ll meet weekly (initially), via Zoom, or at my home practice on the outskirts of Peterborough.
The first session is 90 minutes, and we’ll discuss the impact of burnout on your life and, the neuroscience of burnout, before moving into a deep relaxation working with the subconscious.
Each session thereafter will be 50 minutes, involving a combination of Psychotherapy and Hypnotherapy as needed.
The duration of our relationship will vary, typically we’d work together for between 8 and 12 sessions, but sometimes longer.

I work with clients Monday to Thursday:

Hi, I’m Kelly.
Burnoutologist, speaker, author and creator of Burnoutology.
I reached board-level HR Director by 30. On paper I had it all. The success, the status, the salary. But I hadn't realised just how much the toxic work environments were stealing my brightness, my health, and my happiness.
Then burnout nearly killed me. Twice.
The first time, I was in chronic pain for seven months. I kept passing out. First on a train. Then from the top of the escalator at Liverpool Street station. I landed at the bottom, tights ripped, got back on the tube and went to my meeting. I didn't take one day off. Seven months later, I had two surgeries in 48 hours. The consultants told me it was burnout harming my body from the inside out. I didn't believe them.
The second time, I couldn't leave the sofa for six months. I was still working. I almost didn't survive by Christmas.
Over 12 years I’ve coached over 700 leaders through burnout, including doctors, athletes, TV personalities, board level and C-Suite leaders from around the world. And I’ve trained over 200 coaches to be burnout-informed in Burnoutology.
My 1:1 work now focuses purely on therapy for burnout as a qualified and accredited Solution Focused Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist.
I know what burnout steals from you, and what it takes to rebuild afterwards.
