Burnout Recovery Coaching for Professionals
Guided space to step out of exhaustion, regain clarity, and move forward with calm and purpose.
When work has become overwhelming, even the strongest and most capable people can find themselves running on empty.
You may still be showing up, still caring deeply, still carrying responsibility for others…
yet inside there is tiredness, pressure, or a quiet sense that something isn’t sustainable.
This is a place to pause.
To recalibrate, renew and revitalise
To understand your psychological immune system, and strengthen rather than weaken it.
To learn how to operate from a re-sourced space within and enhance wellbeing
“This understanding is something which will stick with me for life and actually grows more’
— Tom
This support may be right for you if…
You feel persistently tired, stretched, or close to burnout
Work has lost its sense of purpose or satisfaction
You carry significant responsibility for people, outcomes, or decisions
You are navigating change, uncertainty, or transition
You sense something needs to shift, but you’re not sure what or how
You don’t need to be in crisis.
Often, the wisest moment to seek support is simply when you notice
something inside asking for space.
What to expect
Clarity, compassion and purpose emerges from the overwhelm
A calm, thoughtful place to be met
I am Kirstien, a psychologist, coach, and educator with a PhD in Organisational and Social Psychology and a background spanning health and social care, leadership development, and international relief work.
For many years, I have supported professionals, leaders, and helpers who care deeply about their work and the people they serve, yet find themselves carrying more than is sustainable alone.
I understand how people are innately resilient and capable of adapting and thriving regardless of their circumstances. This universal intelligence lives within us all. However, a lack of awareness of this natural capacity and how to support it, can result in unnecessary suffering and limitations.
I am committed to supporting your growth and wellbeing, in my experience this is best watered and nourished through listening, light-heartedness, compassion, frankness and love.
Clients often describe this work as:
A rare space to slow down and think clearly
Gentle insight into how stress and experience are created from the inside out
A reconnection with resilience, perspective, and inner steadiness
Practical clarity emerging without force or struggle
Sessions are available online or, where helpful, in nature, allowing deeper restoration away from the noise and urgency of daily life.
Change here is not driven.
It unfolds— gently, naturally, and in a way that lasts, through insights and shifts in understanding.
Why I’m offering this …
Supporting professionals to sustain offering quality compassionate care to those in need has been at the heart of my work since 1998.
I spent the first 10 years of my career working internationally in emergency response before I burnt out and realised that intellectually knowing (and training others in) what to do to be resilient and well, did not mean I acted on it.
My doctorate in organisational and social psychology examined what motivate health and social care professionals and enables them to sustain offering compassionate care.
I believe the quality of compassion and care we can sustainably offer others is entirely linked to the quality of love and understanding we offer ourselves.
Understanding how we humans experience life from the inside-out and are designed to recover, adapt and thrive has profoundly changed the quality of peoples’ lives, and the quality of support they offer others. I want everyone to be aware of it for themselves.
